n

n
- $50–$55 per hour, depending on experience and capability

Industrial shutdown work sometimes needs to be completed outside normal hours, including weekends. This is an established part of the position and overtime is paid accordingly.

n

Develop into a specialist field

n

We're not expecting the successful applicant to know everything about boilers on day one.

n

We're looking for someone who already has a strong mechanical foundation.

n

We'll provide the boiler-specific training and experience required to develop your knowledge of industrial boilers, steam systems, burners, pressure equipment and associated plant.

n

For the right person, this provides an opportunity to take established mechanical fitting skills and develop them into a specialist industrial boiler career.

n

About you

n

You'll suit Steamtech if you're someone who takes pride in mechanical work, enjoys solving problems, likes varied industrial environments and wants responsibility rather than needing to be closely supervised.

n

We're particularly interested in someone looking for a long-term position who wants to become an important part of a small specialist technical team.

n

If you're an experienced industrial Mechanical Fitter looking for something more varied than maintaining the same production equipment every day, we'd like to hear from you.
