The Opportunity

Vertu Group is continuing to grow, with our Construction Equipment Division continuing to expand

As one of the fastest-growing SANY construction equipment distributors in the region, Vertu has built a

strong and expanding customer base across civil construction, earthmoving, infrastructure, landscaping and

general construction.

We're looking for an experienced Heavy Equipment Technician / Leading Hand to join us as our:

Construction Equipment Technical Lead – Product Support

This is a unique opportunity to become the technical authority for construction equipment product

support within Vertu.

You'll be hands-on, working across the SANY construction equipment range — excavators, rollers, skid

steers and wheel loaders — while also helping us strengthen the technical, service and commissioning

standards that support our growing fleet in the field.

This isn't a workshop management or desk-based role. You'll be on the tools and in the field, leading by example and working alongside our growing technician team.

What you’ll be doing

- Commissioning and setting up new excavators, rollers, skid steers and wheel loaders
- Pre-delivery inspections and customer handovers
- Diagnosing complex hydraulic, electrical, mechanical and electronic control system faults
- Servicing, repairing and maintaining SANY construction equipment across the product range
- Managing undercarriage, ground-engaging tools (GET), wear components and attachments across the excavator, roller, skid steer and wheel loader range
- Attending breakdowns and working towards a first-time fix
- Providing technical advice to customers on machine setup, application, attachments and maintenance
- Leading and coordinating technicians and apprentices as the team grows
- Reviewing completed work and maintaining high workmanship standards




- Providing technical input into parts, GET and wear-component requirements
- Supporting warranty investigations and claims
- Working directly with SANY's technical and product teams
- Developing service procedures, troubleshooting guides and technical training
- Training customers and developing the capability of the wider Vertu team

We’re looking for an experienced Construction Equipment Technician / Leading Hand who

understands the demands of civil construction, earthmoving, infrastructure and general construction applications.

You will have:

- A trade qualification in Heavy Diesel, Mobile Plant, Plant Mechanics, Fitting & Turning or similar
- Proven experience working on excavators, wheel loaders, skid steers, rollers or similar construction equipment
- Strong practical knowledge of hydraulic excavators, compact and wheeled loaders, skid steer loaders and compaction equipment
- Experience with undercarriage systems, ground-engaging tools, wear components and machine attachments
- Strong hydraulic and electrical fault-finding capability
- Experience diagnosing and repairing complex construction equipment and mobile plant
- Experience with commissioning, machine setup and performance troubleshooting
- The ability to work independently across civil, commercial, residential and infrastructure construction
- Strong customer communication and reporting skills
- The ability to lead by example and maintain high technical and workmanship standards

We're particularly value experience with:

- Hydraulic excavators (tracked and wheeled)
- Undercarriage inspection, measurement and replacement
- Ground-engaging tool (GET) selection and management
- Attachment setup, including hammers, augers,



tilt buckets and grabs
- Machine guidance and GPS systems
- Hydraulic systems including pumps, valves, cylinders and motors
- Electronic control systems and CAN bus diagnostics
- Tier 4 / Stage V emission systems and diesel engine management
- Commissioning, PDI and customer operator training
- Leading Hand or Senior Technician experience

The type of person we're looking for

We're looking for someone who already knows construction equipment.

You don't need to know the SANY product range — we'll provide the manufacturer training — but you do

need to understand how construction equipment works, how to diagnose faults and, importantly, how to get a

machine back working for a customer.

You should be someone who is methodical, technically strong and confident making decisions in the field.

Someone who can get stuck into a breakdown, diagnose the problem properly, lead other technicians when

required and communicate directly with the customer.

What we provide / the prospect

- Fully maintained company vehicle
- Specialist tooling and field-service equipment
- All required PPE
- Mobile phone and laptop
- Company uniform
- Overtime opportunities
- SANY factory and product training
- Strong support from the wider Vertu service, parts and sales teams
- Opportunity to work for one of Australasia’s fastest growing construction equipment dealerships and represent one of the largest construction equipment manufactures in the world

The person we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is Technically capable. Practical. Diagnostic. Accountable.

Someone who enjoys being on the tools, takes pride in their work, is comfortable dealing directly with

customers and wants to play a bigger role in building something.

If you're an experienced heavy equipment technician or leading hand who is looking for more

responsibility, more variety and the opportunity to actually grow with the business, we'd like to hear

from you.
