Due to growth in Queensland, they're looking for a Service Technician to join their national service team.

The role

Career progression

This role has a transparent development pathway to Senior Service Technician.

As your skills grow, you'll take on commissioning leadership, complex diagnostics and mentoring of other technicians.
