About the Company

We’re working with a fast-growing construction technology company that retrofits heavy machinery with easy-to-use software and physical AI, tackling safety and productivity challenges on real jobsites. Through a subscription-based automation model, they deliver task-specific, field-ready solutions that maximise jobsite efficiency without the upfront cost of new hardware.

Backed by top-tier venture capital and already active on major solar and civil construction projects across the U.S., they’ve been named to a leading robotics industry Top 50 list for four consecutive years. As they scale their U.S. rental and sales operations, they need more hands-on technical talent to keep their fleet field-ready.

Role Overview

If you’ve got 5-7 years’ experience keeping heavy construction equipment running – and you’re just as comfortable diagnosing a hydraulic fault as you are wiring up a GPS system – this role puts you at the centre of it.

• Keeping detailed service records, reporting to supervisors, and tracking spare parts inventory
• Keeping the shop clean, organised, and audit-ready, and following safety policies and PPE requirements
• Partnering with field teams to troubleshoot complex site issues and provide fast, hands-on support when urgent problems come up

Who you are

• 5-7 years’ experience repairing and maintaining heavy construction equipment (excavators, dozers, pile drivers)
• Strong working knowledge of hydraulic, electrical, and engine systems for diagnosis and repair
• Comfortable using digital diagnostic tools and technical programs to troubleshoot problems
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills for working across teams and sites
