HD Diesel Mechanical Fitter

Expand Your Skills. Work on the Water. Build a Long-Term Career.

Are you an experienced Diesel Mechanical Fitter looking for a change from the same workshop, the same machines, and the same day-to-day routine?

At Royston Australia, we offer experienced fitters the opportunity to take their skills into a unique and rewarding industry. If you've worked in mining, heavy transport, power generation, earthmoving, construction, oil & gas, or industrial maintenance, your experience could open the door to an exciting career in the marine and offshore sector.

Few people consider marine when thinking about diesel maintenance, but those who do gain exposure to a diverse range of equipment, challenging environments, and specialist skills that set them apart in the industry.

About Royston

Based in Henderson, Western Australia, our team enjoys a robust pipeline of work, a supportive culture, and opportunities to work across Australia both onshore and offshore.

No two days are the same. One week you may be carrying out a major engine overhaul in port, the next supporting a defence vessel, offshore asset, power generation facility, or remote mining operation.
