The opportunity
If you're mechanically minded, enjoy figuring out why equipment isn't working and would rather be out on customer sites than stuck in the same workshop every day, this could be a robust next step.
We're partnering with an established
global industrial engineering business
that has been operating for more than 80 years and supports customers across manufacturing, engineering and industrial environments worldwide.
They're looking for a Service Technician to join their Melbourne operation.
You
don't need previous experience with their specific equipment
. They're more interested in finding someone with strong mechanical aptitude, a genuine interest in fault-finding and the right attitude toward safety and learning.
What you'll be doing
This is a genuine field-service position with plenty of variety. You'll be trusted to manage your day, attend customer sites and work through technical problems rather than simply replace parts.
Diagnose and troubleshoot industrial extraction and filtration equipment
Complete mechanical repairs, servicing and preventative maintenance
Work with motors, fans, filters, ducting and associated components
Support equipment installations, modifications and commissioning
Complete accurate service reports and explain findings to customers
As you develop your product knowledge,



there is scope to become increasingly involved in
larger installations, commissioning and project-based work
.
What we're looking for
We're not looking for one particular trade background.
You might currently work with
pumps, compressors, HVAC, automotive equipment, access equipment, materials handling, manufacturing machinery, mechanical fitting or industrial maintenance
.
More importantly, you're someone who:
Enjoys fault-finding and understanding how machinery actually works
Has strong mechanical aptitude and basic electrical/control awareness
Is confident with hand tools, power tools and testing equipment
Can work independently and communicate professionally with customers
Wants to continue learning and develop into broader technical responsibilities
If you're the type of person who pulls something apart because you genuinely want to know
how it works and why it failed
, you'll probably fit in well.
Safety matters
Because you'll be working across active commercial and industrial sites, we're looking for someone who takes safety seriously rather than treating it as paperwork.
You'll need to be comfortable working around:
SWMS and site-specific safety procedures
Isolation and lock-out requirements




Working at Heights and EWP environments
PPE and respiratory protection
Knowing when work falls outside your competency and needs to be escalated
A
White Card, Working at Heights, EWP and Working with Children Check
will be well regarded. A forklift licence is also useful.
Don't have every ticket?
Don't rule yourself out.
Some training and tickets can be arranged for the right person.
Why consider it?
This is an opportunity to join a
long-established global industrial business
rather than another small service operation where you're expected to know everything from day one.
You'll receive:
$75,000–$85,000 + super
, depending on experience
Fully maintained company vehicle, phone, laptop, iPad and uniform
Structured product and systems training
Autonomy to manage your field work without someone constantly looking over your shoulder
Development opportunities across servicing, installations, commissioning and project work
This could particularly suit an
up-and-coming technician
who has built solid hands-on skills and is now looking for a business where they can broaden their technical knowledge and build a longer-term career.
All applicants must have Full Working Rights (Citizenship, Permanent Resident or Partner Visa).
