Trade Assistant | Franna | Local SEQ Maintenance Projects

If you're a skilled Trade Assistant looking for consistent local work, a supportive, trade-led team setting and the opportunity to build a long-term career, this role delivers.

An essential requirement of this role is a current Crane/Franna Operator licence with proven operational experience, making this a great opportunity to put your skills to work across a variety of projects.

We're expanding our Maintenance Team to support a strong pipeline of industrial maintenance, shutdown, mechanical upgrade and brownfield projects across SEQ.

Working across different site locations across South East Queensland, you'll work alongside experienced Fitters and Boilermakers supporting a range of industrial maintenance activities.

Local work. Hands-on projects. Strong team backing.

What the Role Involves

This is a hands-on, team-focused Trade Assistant role supporting maintenance, shutdowns, breakdowns and mechanical upgrades across industrial sites.

You’ll be involved in:

- Material handling, equipment movements, truck unloading, site set-ups and pack-downs
- Supporting Fitters and Boilermakers with maintenance, fabrication and mechanical activities
- Assisting with structural maintenance, plant upgrades and general site works
- Mark-outs, measurements, bolting, grinding, cutting and general preparation
- Assisting with the disassembly of overhead gantry and rigging equipment
- Operating 15T and 20T Franna cranes for lifts and equipment movements as required
- Supporting basic rigging and dogging activities and safe lift coordination
- Following ENAP and client safety requirements, including JSAs/SWMS, toolbox talks, equipment checks and lift planning

Get stuck in. Support the trades. Keep projects moving.
