• Monitor job progress, labour hours and costs, and raise delays or variations early.
• Communicate with customers about progress, site requirements and completion dates.
• Maintain accurate job records in Sybiz Vision and prepare completed job packs for invoicing.
• Verify team competency, required training and safe work procedures before allocating work.
• Keep the CEO informed of workload, capacity, delivery risks and support required.

• A relevant mechanical trade qualification, such as fitting and machining, with heavy equipment repair experience. Desirable
• Experience leading tradespeople and coordinating workshop or field work.
• The ability to read drawings, understand tolerances and recognise quality issues.
• Strong planning skills and the ability to manage changing priorities without losing track of commitments.
• Clear communication with tradespeople, customers and management.
• Confidence using computers, spreadsheets and job management systems.
• A current driver licence and the ability to meet customer site access and competency requirements.
• A practical approach to problem‑solving, accurate paperwork and a commitment to doing the job safely.

Highly Regarded

• Previous lineboring or portable machining experience.
• Experience using ERP Systems.

What We Offer

• A full-time opportunity with an established, Australian family-owned business.
• Direct access to the CEO and the opportunity to take ownership of Lineboring job delivery.
• A varied role across planning, team leadership and workshop and field support.
• An experienced team and established workshop facilities in Paget.
• Opportunities to develop your leadership and planning capability.
