Be the last set of hands on every machine before it goes to work. You'll split your time between two jobs: bringing new machines to life on the test bay and fitting the accessories that make each build ready for the customer. Putzmeister is a world leader in concrete pumping. Our machines pour the concrete on Australia's biggest high-rise, infrastructure, tunnelling and mining projects. At our Altona workshop, we build, fit out and test each pump to a standard our customers rely on every day.

Key Responsibilities: Testing and tuning

Set and verify hydraulic pressures, flows and machine settings to spec

Run full function tests on the boom, pumping, outrigger and control systems

Hunt down leaks, defects and anything that isn't quite right

Fault-find and fine-tune each machine for peak performance

Complete test reports and handover documentation

Fit-out and final assembly

Drill, grind, fabricate brackets and mount accessories to customer specifications

Fit items such as toolboxes, pressure washers, pipe and hose racks, lighting, beacons, cameras, guards and anything else the customer has requested

Make sure every fitting is solid, neat and finished to Putzmeister standard
