Field Service Technician – $130k–$140k + Overtime

Macrospec Pty Ltd | North Geelong VIC
Full time | $55–$60/hr + super + allowances | Overtime paid at penalty rates

Work on world-class machinery. Travel Australia. Build a career.

Macrospec is growing, and we're looking for an experienced Field Service Technician to join our team in North Geelong.

We service and support leading egg grading, packing and processing equipment across Australia. This is a hands-on role where no two days are the same — one call might have you fault-finding PLCs, drives and sensors, and the next working on conveyors, bearings, chains or pneumatics.

What you'll be doing

- Install, commission, service and maintain automated processing equipment.
- Fault-find and repair electrical, PLC/control and mechanical systems.
- Work directly with customers across egg and poultry operations.
- Complete preventative maintenance and breakdown work.
- Train customers on newly installed equipment.
- Maintain service records, tools, equipment and your company vehicle.
- Work safely and follow customer site and farm biosecurity requirements.

What we're looking for

You’ll be a practical, experienced technician who can diagnose the problem and fix it, rather than simply change parts.

You'll need:

- Current Electrical Disconnect/Reconnect licence (Class D or equivalent).
- Strong experience with automated, PLC-controlled machinery.
- Solid mechanical skills — drives, chains, bearings, gearboxes, conveyors and pneumatics.
- Trade qualification or equivalent electromechanical service experience.




- Ability to work independently on customer sites.
- Current Australian driver's licence.
- Good communication skills and a professional approach with customers.

Highly regarded: A-grade electrical licence, Siemens/Allen-Bradley PLC experience, food/packaging machinery experience, poultry industry experience, forklift or working-at-heights tickets.

What's in it for you?

- $130,000–$140,000 total package, depending on experience, licensing and travel availability.
- $55–$60/hr base rate + super + allowances.
- Overtime paid at penalty rates and regularly available.
- During major installations and breakdowns, overtime can be significant.
- Accommodation and meals covered when travelling.
- Company vehicle/tools, phone and laptop.
- Manufacturer-backed training on world-leading equipment.
- Australian travel, with occasional international opportunities including New Zealand and Singapore.
- Small, capable team where your work genuinely matters.

The travel

You'll be based at our North Geelong workshop, with day travel across Victoria and approximately one week in every four outside Victoria. If you like the idea of your trade taking you around Australia — and occasionally overseas — this is an prospect to do exactly that.

Ready for a change?

If you're an experienced electrical/mechanical technician who enjoys fault-finding, machinery and being out in the field, we'd like to hear from you.

Apply now with your resume and a short note telling us what machinery you've worked on.

Applications will be reviewed as they arrive, with starts planned from October 2026.
