Job Description
FIFO Pump Technicians / Mechanical Fitters
n
$75 Per Hour + Super | 8/6 Roster | FIFO From Perth
n
Tired of maintaining the same equipment, at the same site, on the same routine every swing?
n
This is your opportunity to join our client,an expanding Western Australian specialist delivering advanced pumping, dewatering and dredging solutions across some of the state's toughest operating environments.
n
Working across regional WA project sites, you'll gain hands‐on exposure to an impressive range of internationally recognised equipment.
n
Our client operates across pump sales, hire, servicing, repairs, project delivery and specialist dredging—so this is not a role where you'll spend every swing completing repetitive servicing on one piece of plant.
n
If you enjoy solving mechanical problems, working independently and being the person others rely on when equipment needs to perform, this could be the FIFO opportunity you've been waiting for.
n
The Prospect
n
As a FIFO Pump Technician / Mechanical Fitter, you'll work alongside an experienced operational crew maintaining, repairing and supporting pumps, diesel‐driven plant, hydraulic equipment and specialised dredging systems.
n
You'll be trusted to diagnose problems, make practical decisions in the field and take ownership of keeping critical equipment operating.
n
Your responsibilities will include:
n
n
Servicing, repairing and maintaining pumps and diesel‐driven equipment

Diagnosing mechanical faults and responding to field breakdowns

Completing scheduled and preventative maintenance

n
Supporting the broader crew with practical site activities when required
n

n
n
What You'll Bring
n
We're looking for capable tradespeople who know their way around mechanical equipment and don't need to be chased to get things done.
n
Ideally, you'll have:
n
n
A recognised Mechanical Fitter, Fitter and Turner or Heavy Diesel Mechanic trade qualification
n
Experience servicing, repairing or rebuilding pumps and diesel‐driven equipment
n
Strong mechanical fault‐finding and diagnostic capabilities
n
Practical experience with hydraulic systems
n
Previous FIFO or remote‐site experience within mining, resources, civil, dewatering or heavy industry
n
A strong understanding of mine‐site safety requirements
n
The ability to work autonomously and make sound decisions in the field
n




A current Australian Driver's Licence
n
A current First Aid Certificate, or willingness to obtain one
n
The ability to pass a pre‐employment medical and drug and alcohol screen
n
n
Previous experience with slurry pumps, dewatering systems, dredging equipment, remote‐operated machinery or amphibious equipment will be highly regarded; however, genuine mechanical capability, initiative and the right attitude will be just as important.
n
What's On Offer
n
n
Even‐time 8 days on, 6 days off roster
n
12-hour shifts
n
FIFO from Perth to project locations across regional WA
n
Exposure to specialist equipment most fitters rarely get the opportunity to work on
n
A varied mix of site, field and workshop activities
n
A hands‐on position where your technical judgement will be valued
n
The opportunity to work across mining, dewatering, pumping and dredging operations
n
Genuine potential to broaden your operational experience
n
n
The Right Fit
n
This role will suit someone who takes pride in their trade, notices problems before they become breakdowns and is prepared to contribute wherever the crew needs support.
n
You'll be practical, safety‐focused and comfortable working in remote environments. You won't be someone who says, "That's not my job"—you'll be the person who helps find a way to get the job done safely and properly.
n
Opportunities to work across this type of specialist equipment don't come up every day.
n
If you're an experienced Pump Technician, Mechanical Fitter or HD Diesel Mechanic looking for variety, responsibility and an excellent 8/6 FIFO roster, we want to hear from you.
