Auto Electricians wanted for mobile plant, heavy equipment and agricultural machinery in regional NSW. Workshop and field roles across mining and agriculture.

About us

Biro Strategy works with regional businesses across Australia to bridge skill gaps and build long-term workforces. We are partnering with mining operations and large-scale agricultural producers in regional NSW that need experienced auto electricians to keep their fleets running. Standard terms and conditions follow industry standards, with competitive pay rates.

The chance

Modern mobile equipment runs on electronics. When a loader, haul truck, tractor or harvester goes down with an electrical fault, work stops, which is why these operations need auto electricians who can diagnose fast and fix it right the first time.

Roles include mine site and workshop positions maintaining heavy mobile plant, and workshop and field positions maintaining tractors, harvesters, trucks and farm equipment. We welcome qualified auto electricians from mining, earthmoving, heavy transport, bus and coach, and agricultural backgrounds, including tradespeople who have not worked in mining before.
