Job Description
Civeo Facility Management is seeking qualified Refrigeration Technicians to join our casual relief workforce supporting remote accommodation villages across Queensland. Opportunities are offered on a flexible casual basis to provide leave coverage and operational support across our village network.
For candidates interested in additional swing opportunities, optional assignments may also be available at our South Australian operations. Civeo will support suitable candidates with obtaining any required South Australian licensing or registration requirements.
These positions are specifically designed to provide leave coverage across our village network and form part of a genuine casual talent pool. Work is offered as operational requirements arise, primarily to cover annual leave, roster gaps and other planned absences across our sites.

This is a hands-on role where you'll spend your time in the field, travelling across multiple remote mining villages including Coppabella, Nebo, Dysart, Moranbah and surrounding locations.
Whether you're between projects, looking to supplement your current roster, or seeking flexible casual work, this role offers the opportunity to work across multiple sites, gain exposure to different operations, and choose assignments that fit your availability.
