• Manage your daily schedule while working autonomously in the field

Why join TMHA ?

You may already know Toyota Material Handling Australia as one of Australia's leading material handling equipment providers – but there's much more to being part of our team.

We're backed by Toyota Industries Corporation and have a strong national presence, giving our people the stability and support of a global organisation while still maintaining a strong team culture locally.

As a TMHA Technician, you'll have access to:

• A fully maintained company vehicle and the tools required to do your job

You'll ideally have:

• A relevant mechanical trade qualification – Certificate III in Mobile Plant Technology, Heavy Vehicle, Automotive or equivalent
• Experience working on mobile plant, forklifts, heavy vehicles, agricultural machinery or similar equipment
• Strong mechanical, electrical and hydraulic diagnostic skills
• The ability to work independently and manage your own workload
• Good communication and customer service skills
• A current driver's licence

Forklift experience is highly regarded, but not essential. If you have experience working on other types of mobile equipment and have the right attitude and technical capability, we'd love to hear from you.
