About the role

The business is growing and wants a trade-qualified mechanical fitter who can keep its packing line equipment dependable through the busiest parts of the year.

The employer is looking for someone who fits into a small maintenance team under the Maintenance Supervisor, diagnoses problems quickly, reduces downtime and lifts the reliability of its plant. Peak production brings extra hours and occasional Saturday shifts, while the harvest season involves trips to a second packing facility in the Northern Territory to back up maintenance there.

Visa sponsorship is on offer to suitably qualified candidates, which makes your trade qualification and machinery history the first things the employer will weigh up.

Give the employer what it needs to shortlist you: an English CV that names your fitter qualification, the packing or processing lines you have maintained and your welding and fabrication work. Use Build AI CV to shape a maintenance fitter CV before you apply.
