Field Service Technician – Industrial Automation & Robotics

Melbourne | $100,000–$115,000 + Super + Company Car

Take your technical skills into the world of advanced automation and robotics!

Are you a hands-on technician who enjoys solving problems, working with machinery and figuring out how things work?

Perhaps you're currently servicing forklifts, heavy equipment, industrial machinery or electrical systems and are looking for something a little more challenging.

This could be the career move you've been waiting for.

QIX Consulting Group is partnering with a leading global automation business to recruit a Field Service Technician to join its Australian service team.

You'll have the opportunity to work with sophisticated automated machinery, robotics and intelligent warehouse systems, supporting major customers across Australia and New Zealand.

And here's the interesting part: you don't need to come from an industrial automation background to be considered.

We're looking for someone with strong practical technical skills, a natural ability to troubleshoot problems and, most importantly, the curiosity and motivation to learn.

What's on offer?

- $100,000–$115,000 base salary + superannuation
- Company car provided
- Permanent, full-time opportunity
- Exposure to advanced robotics and industrial automation technology
- Specialist technical training and ongoing development
- Career opportunities within an established international organisation
- Variety, independence and the opportunity to work across different customer environments

What will you be doing?

Working as part of the customer service team, you'll be responsible for keeping automated machinery and equipment operating reliably.

Your responsibilities will include

- Diagnosing and repairing mechanical, electrical and hydraulic faults
- Performing preventative and corrective maintenance
- Servicing, maintaining and troubleshooting automated machinery
- Assisting with equipment upgrades, modifications and system improvements
- Identifying faults,



investigating root causes and implementing solutions
- Preparing service reports and communicating with customers
- Travelling to customer sites across Melbourne, with additional interstate and New Zealand travel as required

What background are we looking for?

You might currently be working as a:

- Field Service Technician
- Forklift or Materials Handling Technician
- Electromechanical Technician
- Mechanical Fitter / Maintenance Technician
- Automotive Electrician
- Heavy Diesel or Machinery Technician
- Industrial Maintenance or Automation Technician

Experience in any of these areas could provide an excellent foundation. Ideally, you'll bring:
- Practical experience servicing, repairing or maintaining machinery or equipment
- Strong mechanical and/or electrical fault-finding abilities
- Confidence interpreting technical drawings or schematics
- Good communication skills and a customer-focused approach
- The ability to work independently and solve problems
- A willingness to travel and learn new technologies
- A current driver's licence and unrestricted permanent Australian working rights

Experience with PLCs or control systems such as Siemens, Rockwell, Beckhoff or FANUC would be advantageous, but is not essential. Why consider this opportunity?

This isn't simply another machinery maintenance role.

It's an prospect to take the technical experience you've already developed and apply it to some genuinely interesting automation technology.

Our client understands that the right attitude, practical ability and willingness to learn can be just as valuable as years of specialist automation experience.

If you're mechanically minded, technically curious and looking for a long-term career opportunity, we'd love to hear from you.

Even if your experience doesn't tick every box, we'd still encourage you to get in touch.
