Job description

Service Technician – Car Wash Systems (Sydney NSW)

Join a team where the work is hands‑on, the days are never boring, and the culture is genuinely great.

We’re looking for a mechanically and electrically minded technician who enjoys solving problems, getting stuck into real equipment, and working with a team that actually supports each other. If you like variety, autonomy, and a workplace where people laugh while still getting the job done right, you’ll fit in perfectly.

This role is Sydney‑based, with occasional interstate and remote travel to keep things interesting. You’ll also take part on our weekend on‑call roster — but you’ll be backed by a team that never leaves you hanging.

About the Role

Reporting to the National Service Manager, you’ll work across a wide range of car and truck wash systems, including:

• Automatic wash systems
• Self‑serve bays
• High‑pressure pump units
• Water filtration and recycling systems
• Reverse osmosis units
• Ozone generators
• Conveyors
• Vacuums
• Tunnel wash systems
• Brush systems and more

No two days look the same. One day you might be troubleshooting a pump, the next installing a new wash system for a major national client. If you enjoy variety and hands‑on technical work, you’ll love this role.

About You

You’re the type of person who:

• Enjoys figuring out how things work
• Likes being trusted to get the job done
• Has a can‑do attitude and a bit of spark
• Works well solo but also enjoys being part of a good crew
• Communicates confidently with customers and operators
• Takes pride in doing safe, high‑quality work

If you’re enthusiastic, mechanically minded, and enjoy a job where you’re not stuck behind a desk, you’ll thrive here.

Applicant Requirements

Essential:

• Mechanical and electrical fault‑finding experience
• Strong customer focus
• Commitment to safe work practices

Desirable (not essential):

• EWP licence
• Forklift licence
• Experience with vehicle wash equipment
• Post‑trade hydraulics/pneumatics qualifications

Why You’ll Enjoy Working with Us

We’re an industry leader, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We take the work seriously — not the fun out of it. You’ll enjoy:

• A long‑term, stable career
• Genuine opportunities for progression
• A company vehicle
• Mobile phone
• Full uniform
• A supportive team that actually has your back
