Ranger has been inspecting, testing and certifying lifting, rigging and height safety equipment for over 20 years. With five sites and more than 60 people across NSW, QLD and VIC, we’ve got the systems, training and backup to help you do the job well.

Our Port Melbourne branch needs to add an inspector to the team. You’ll work to the same proven procedures as our other branches, with experienced people around you to learn from.

Lifting equipment Inspection is a specialised field, and we know experienced people are hard to find. If you’ve done this work before, we want to hear from you, and we’ll recognise what you bring. If you haven’t, but you’ve got a trade or mechanical background and the right attitude, we’ll train you.

Why this one’s worth your time

• Real work that matters. You’ll inspect, test and certify the lifting, rigging and height safety gear used across the Melbourne and Regional Victorian construction sites and general industry.
• A ute, phone and tablet. Once you’re trained up, you’ll get a tools-of-trade vehicle, phone, tablet and uniform.
• You’ll be trained properly. Our experienced inspectors will mentor you, and we’ll back you through industry training.
• There’s a path up. As the technical team grows, so does the opportunity within the company.
• Family owned and independent. You’ll be part of a tight local team, not a number in a big corporate.

• Height safety installations on site

Looking after customers

• Giving customers clear, honest advice on their gear and what they need
• Building strong relationships with the sites you look after
• Helping run training and product demonstrations for customers

What we’re looking for

Experience helps. A good attitude and a mechanical mind matter more.

You’ll need

• A current driver’s licence
• To be comfortable working at heights
• Strong attention to detail. Your records have to be right every time
• The confidence to work on your own and deal with customers on site
• To be comfortable using a tablet and basic software
• Clear written and verbal communication
• A safety-first mindset, every time
• To be happy travelling to regional sites from time to time

It’ll put you ahead if you have

• LEEA certificates or a LEEA TEAM Card
• A mechanical or trade background (fitter, boilermaker, mechanic or similar)
• A forklift licence (LF)
• An EWP ticket
• A working at heights ticket
• A White Card

What’s in it for you

• A full-time role
• Tools-of-trade vehicle, phone, tablet and uniform once you’re trained
• Full training and mentoring from experienced inspectors
• A real career path in a branch that’s going places
• A team that looks after each other

We know changing jobs isn’t always easy, so we guarantee confidentiality.

This role is only open to applicants with the right to work in Australia. Because of our customers’ site requirements, you will need to complete a pre-employment medical, drug and alcohol test and a National Police Check.
