ABOUT THE ROLE
A well-established and growing specialist in industrial lifting solutions is looking for a trade-qualified Mechanical Fitter — ideally holding or working toward a Restricted Electrical Licence — to join their Brisbane-based service team on a permanent basis.

The role covers service, planned maintenance, reactive breakdown response, and commissioning work across overhead cranes, hoists, gantry systems, and jib cranes for a diverse industrial client base. The work is a genuine mix of mechanical and electrical — you'll be in your element if you understand both the mechanical operation of lifting equipment and the basics of how electrical control systems interact with it.

You'll be paired with a senior technician through a structured onboarding process that includes formal crane awareness training.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Assist with commissioning and installation of new crane and hoist systems
• Identify and carry out basic electrical checks and repairs within restricted electrical licence scope
• Complete detailed service reports and compliance documentation to national safety standards

Essential

• Certificate III — Mechanical Trade (Fitter and Turner, or equivalent)

• Solid mechanical aptitude with hands-on industrial maintenance and fault-finding experience
• Customer-focused with strong communication skills for client-facing field work
• Current Driver's Licence (essential — company vehicle provided)

• Safety-first mindset — commitment to safe work practices every day

Will strengthen your application

• Restricted Electrical Licence (if not already held, supported post-hire)

• Exposure to crane control systems, contactors, or low-voltage electrical components
• EWP Licence or Working at Heights certificate (can be obtained post-hire)
• Forklift licence (can be obtained post-hire)
• LV Rescue / CPR certification

WHY THIS ROLE?

• $42–$55/hr + superannuation — rate reflects your trade qualification and the specialist nature of the work
• Company vehicle, fuel card, and phone provided from day one — full kit from the start
• Permanent, stable employment — not contract, not labour hire, not casual
