We’re partnered with a reputable local engineering and services business supporting mining and heavy industry clients. We are looking to bring in a highly capable Mechanical Fitter to lift capability and efficiency at their Mackay operation.

This role exists for one reason:

To get gearbox and pump strip-down, repair and refurbishment done properly and efficiently — in line with best practice seen at leading facilities.

The Chance

The Mackay workshop is well set up, modern, and growing — however the business is now seeking a specialist, not a learner.

Key Responsibilities:
Strip, inspect, repair and refurbish slurry and process pumps
Efficiently remove pumps from site and prepare for workshop works
Diagnose faults and recommend repair solutions
Support uplift in workshop capability through best-practice methods

What We’re Looking For:
Proven experience as a Mechanical Fitter with pumps and gearboxes
Strong understanding of pump/gearbox stripping, rebuild and refurbishment efficiency




Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of jobs
Mining or heavy industry exposure highly regarded
Someone who takes pride in doing the job right, not just getting it done

What’s on Offer:
$55 to $60/hr casual full time for initial 6 months
Another role we have is $52/hr full time from DAY 1
Modern, clean, well-equipped workshop
Stable, long-term chance with a growing Mackay operation
Real influence — you’ll be brought in as the technical benchmark

Why This Role

This is not a volume role and not a stepping-stone.

It suits someone who
Is confident in their Mechanical capability
Is frustrated watching jobs blow out due to poor methods
Wants stability, respect, and a workshop that listens
