Job description

The role:

Are you a Mechanical Fitter who enjoys fabrication just as much as mechanical maintenance? We're looking for a trade-qualified fitter with proven welding and fabrication skills to help keep our concrete plants operating at their best.

• Complete daily fabrication and welding tasks, including modifying and manufacturing plant components.
• Service and maintain conveyors, gearboxes, bearings, valves, pumps, material handling systems, silos and concrete mixers.
• Install replacement components and undertake plant improvement projects.
• Inspect equipment, identify wear or defects and recommend maintenance solutions.
• Work closely with production teams to safely complete maintenance with minimal disruption to operations.
• Maintain accurate maintenance records and report equipment issues.
• Follow all safety procedures, risk assessments and permit requirements while maintaining a strong safety-first culture.

This is a permanent day shift position, typically working Monday to Friday with regular half-day Saturdays, supporting our concrete operations across the Perth metro area.

• Solid knowledge of gearboxes, bearings, conveyors, valves, hydraulics, pneumatics and pumps.
• Strong fault-finding and mechanical troubleshooting skills.
• Current driver's licence (HR licence preferred).
• A proactive approach to safety and quality.
