NSW based | Field service | Pathway to Senior Technician

About the company

Our client is the Australian arm of a German family-owned global manufacturer of industrial laundry equipment. They supply, commission and service high-end machinery for commercial and industrial laundries across Australia. Due to growth in NSW, they're looking for a Service Technician to join their national service team.

The role

You'll install, commission, service and fault-find industrial laundry equipment at customer sites across Queensland, with some interstate travel. The machines are heavily automated, running PLCs, VFDs, servos and sensor networks, so you'll get genuine electrical and automation work, not just general maintenance.

- Remote and on-site troubleshooting support
- Completing service reports, JSAs and SWMS, and working within an ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified system

Career progression




This role has a clear development pathway to Senior Service Technician. You'll get structured training on the equipment, B&R; platform training, and the opportunity to attend factory training in Germany. As your skills grow, you'll take on commissioning leadership, complex diagnostics and mentoring of other technicians.
