Stratacore Drilling | Central Coast NSW | Full time

Stratacore Drilling is looking for an experienced and capable mechanic to join our team on the Central Coast.

We operate a diverse fleet of drilling rigs, trucks, light vehicles, trailers and support equipment. This is a hands-on role with plenty of variety and the opportunity to take ownership of the day-to-day maintenance and repairs across the fleet.

We are looking for someone who can be given the priorities for the day, work through them independently and make sure the job is done properly.

The Role

- Servicing and repairs on drilling rigs, trucks, light vehicles and plant
- Mechanical fault finding and repairs
- Auto electrical diagnosis and repairs
- Trailer repairs, wheel bearings, brakes and running gear
- Gearbox, clutch and driveline repairs
- Hydraulic fault finding and repairs
- Preventative maintenance and scheduled servicing
- Light fabrication and welding
- Diagnosing equipment faults and finding practical solutions
- Preparing vehicles and equipment for upcoming projects
- Occasional field and breakdown repairs

The work is varied. One day you may be servicing vehicles and repairing a trailer, and the next you could be fault finding on a drill rig, repairing an electrical issue or completing a larger mechanical repair.

What We Are Looking For

Above all, we want someone we can trust to work independently and do the job properly.

You will ideally be:

- Trade-qualified as a mechanic, diesel mechanic or similar
- Experienced working across a variety of vehicles and equipment
- Confident with mechanical fault finding
- Capable of light welding and fabrication




- Practical and able to solve problems without needing constant direction
- Organised and able to work through priorities efficiently
- Someone who takes pride in their work
- Reliable and easy to work with

Experience with drilling equipment would be an advantage but is not essential . Experience with civil plant, earthmoving equipment, trucks, agricultural machinery, mining equipment or similar machinery would transfer well into the role.
