Job description

Love fixing things, solving problems and learning something new every day? This could be the job for you!

At iPlay Australia, our technicians are the people behind the fun, keeping our bowling lanes rolling, arcade games playing and entertainment equipment running.

We're looking for a hands-on, mechanically minded and technically curious Bowling & Arcade Technician to support our two Toowoomba venues, iPlay Toowoomba and iPlay Toowoomba Bowl.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys working with their hands, troubleshooting equipment and getting things back up and running. You'll work across two different entertainment venues, gaining experience with everything from arcade and redemption machines to commercial 10-pin bowling equipment.

The best part? You don't need to know everything before you start.

Our equipment is varied, the challenges are different every day, and there's always something new to learn. You'll have the full backing of an experienced technical team with over 120 years of combined industry knowledge behind you. We'll help you develop your skills, learn the equipment and build your confidence along the way.

Whether you're already experienced in bowling or arcade equipment, or have a background in electrical, electronic, mechanical or general maintenance work, we'd love to hear from you.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

Structured training and ongoing support from experienced technicians

Access to a technical team with over 120 years of combined knowledge

The opportunity to develop skills across both bowling and arcade equipment

A varied hands-on role where no two days are the same

Genuine career progression opportunities within a growing technical team

The chance to be part of one of Australia's fastest-growing entertainment businesses

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?

You'll be responsible for maintaining, troubleshooting and repairing a wide range of entertainment equipment across iPlay Toowoomba and iPlay Toowoomba Bowl.

One day you could be fault-finding a 10-pin bowling pinsetter, the next repairing an arcade machine, diagnosing an electronic fault or carrying out preventative maintenance.

You'll play an important role in keeping both venues operating safely, reliably and delivering great guest experiences.

BOWLING EQUIPMENT

Help keep the lanes rolling by maintaining, diagnosing and repairing commercial 10-pin bowling equipment, including:

10-pin bowling pinsetters and pinspotters

Motors, belts, pulleys and drive systems

Ball returns and lift systems

Sensors, switches and control systems

Electrical and mechanical components

Bowling scoring and electronic systems

General servicing, preventative maintenance and breakdown repairs

ARCADE & AMUSEMENT EQUIPMENT

Help keep the games playing by maintaining and repairing a variety of arcade and entertainment equipment, including:

Arcade, redemption and prize machines

Ticketing and card reader systems

Sensors, switches and control systems

Electrical and electronic components

Wiring, harnesses and circuit boards

Mechanical faults and component repairs

Preventative maintenance, testing and general servicing

You'll also be involved in general maintenance, identifying potential issues before they become problems and ensuring equipment is safe and ready for guests to enjoy.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We're looking for someone who is practical, curious and enjoys working out how things work.

You might already be an experienced Bowling or Arcade Technician, or you could be a qualified tradesperson or maintenance professional looking to take your skills in a different direction.

Ideally, you'll have:

Experience in mechanical repairs, electrical work, electronics or industrial maintenance

An interest in arcade games, amusement equipment or commercial bowling systems

A practical approach to fault-finding and problem-solving

The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

Good communication skills and a commitment to doing the job properly

A willingness to learn new equipment and develop your technical skills

A current driver's licence

Previous experience reading wiring diagrams, working with motors, sensors and control systems, or diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults will be highly regarded.

But here's the important part: we don't expect you to know it all.

You don't need to walk through the door knowing how every machine works. What matters is that you're willing to learn, aren't afraid to ask questions, enjoy a challenge and take pride in finding the solution.

Our experienced technicians will be there to support you, share their knowledge and help you grow into the role.

NEVER WORKED ON BOWLING OR ARCADE EQUIPMENT BEFORE?

No problem!

If you've worked as an electrician, mechanic, fitter, maintenance technician, electronics technician or in another hands-on technical role, many of your existing skills will transfer across.

We'll help you learn the equipment, understand the systems and develop the skills you need to succeed.

We can teach you the machines. We want you to bring the attitude, curiosity and willingness to learn.
