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.

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

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
Robust 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 opportunity
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.
