East Coast Generators - Power you can rely on.

You don't need a trade certificate to know which end of a spanner to hold.

We're looking for someone who's good with their hands, mechanically minded and doesn't need to be asked twice to get stuck in.

Not someone who spends half the day watching the clock.

Not someone who walks past a problem because it's somebody else's job.

And definitely not someone who thinks being a Trade Assistant means standing around waiting for instructions.

We mean someone who enjoys working with machinery, takes pride in doing things properly and wants to learn from people who know their trade.

At East Coast Generators, we're growing, investing in our workshop and building a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

If that sounds like somewhere you'd fit, keep reading.

Trade Assistant | Diesel Generators & Equipment What the role actually looks like You'll be working alongside experienced diesel technicians in our Altona North workshop, helping keep generators serviced, repaired and ready to go.

Some days you'll be assisting with mechanical repairs.

Some days you'll be preparing equipment for delivery.

Some days you'll be helping the team work through a workshop full of jobs that all needed doing yesterday.

There's variety, there's machinery, and there's plenty to learn.

You'll be:

Assisting technicians with servicing, repairs and mechanical work

Changing fluids, filters and components under supervision

Helping strip down, clean, inspect and reassemble equipment

Preparing generators and associated equipment for customers

Identifying obvious faults, leaks, wear and damage

Keeping tools,



parts and jobs organised

Helping move, load and unload equipment safely

Making sure the workshop stays clean, safe and ready for the next job

You're not expected to know everything.

But we do expect you to pay attention, ask questions and take pride in getting things right.

Who this role suits You might have worked in a mechanical workshop.

You might have spent time around trucks, plant, agricultural equipment or machinery hire.

You might be the person who's always fixing things in the shed on weekends.

We're not particularly interested in where you learned your skills.

We're interested in what you can do with them.

You'll fit in here if you:

Have a genuine interest in engines and mechanical equipment

Know your way around hand and power tools

Turn up ready to work and pull your weight

Can take direction without needing to be micromanaged

Have the initiative to see what needs doing next

Aren't afraid to ask when you don't know something

Take safety seriously and look out for your teammates

Want to keep learning and getting better

You'll need a current driver's licence.

A forklift licence would be handy, but we can work with the right person who's willing to obtain one.

How we do things at ECG We keep it pretty simple.





Safety comes first. Every time.

We look out for each other.

We respect the equipment, the workshop and the people around us.

We take ownership and follow through.

We speak up when something isn't right.

We look for ways to do things better.

We're not building a workplace full of passengers.

We're building a team where everyone contributes, from the most experienced technician to the person who's just getting started.

You don't need to know everything to be valuable. You just need to bring the right attitude and a willingness to learn.

Why this role exists We're growing.

Our rental fleet is expanding, our service workload is increasing, and we're continuing to invest in the people and systems that support both.

That means giving our technicians the support they need to do their best work, while developing capable people who can grow with the business.

We're not looking for someone to simply fill a gap in the workshop.

We're looking for someone who can become a valued part of the team.
