Type

Full Time

Secure a long-term workshop role with competitive rates, consistent hours, and the chance to specialize in underground drill rebuilds

  • $65.00ph - $75.00ph + Super on top
  • Be home every night - reclaim your work-life balance
  • Work on premium Sandvik underground drills in a brand new workshop

Tired of FIFO but still want to work on proper underground gear?

This purpose-built Neerabup workshop specialises in Sandvik underground drill rebuilds, delivering OEM-standard strip, assess and rebuild work for Tier 1 WA clients.

You'll be joining a young, driven crew in a positive, supportive work environment, backed by experienced trades and proper leadership - no egos, no drama, just a crew that looks after each other.

You'll be working in a clean, organised rebuild facility with the right tooling, systems, and support - not a backyard setup.

The opportunity & why apply?

Lock in a long-term workshop role close to home, working on world-class underground drill rigs with the right tooling, processes and support.

  • $65.00ph - $75.00ph + super
  • Roster Flexability: 7:7 or 5:2 - Days only
  • Stable, ongoing role with guaranteed hours
  • Home every night - no airports, no nights, no swings
  • Exclusive focus on Sandvik underground drills (DD, DL & DS series)
  • Clean, organised workshop with OEM tooling & structured rebuild bays
  • Supportive team culture with progression pathways into Leading Hand roles

The Role:

Your work will centre on rebuilding, repairing and testing underground drill rigs and drill components.

  • Strip, assess and rebuild full Sandvik drill rigs (DD / DL / DS series)
  • Complete component work: booms, feeds, drifters, rod changers, cylinders, cradles, rotation units
  • Troubleshoot, diagnose and carry out preventative maintenance
  • Follow OEM specifications to ensure high-quality, compliant rebuilds
  • Work within a tight-knit crew committed to high standards and safety

What You'll Need:

  • Australian-recognised Heavy Diesel / Mobile Plant trade certificate
  • Experience with underground mobile equipment (Sandvik, CAT, Epiroc, etc.)
  • Solid mechanical diagnostics and rebuild experience
  • Safety-first mindset and proactive attitude
  • Ability to pass pre-employment medical & D&A screening

Why make the move away from FIFO?

You'll still be working on the same high-end underground equipment found on WA's top sites - just without the flights, night shifts, long swings, or time away from home.

Instead, you'll be home every night, have a proper routine, and still build serious technical experience on Sandvik drills.

Join a specialist rebuild workshop, learn from industry veterans, and set yourself up for long-term career progression north of the river.
