• Permanent position with a global materials-handling OEM
• $50.00 - $53.00ph + super, overtime and field service ute
• Monday-to-Friday role based at the Bell Bay Port Facility

The Company

This globally recognised OEM is a market leader in cargo and materials-handling equipment, supporting ports, terminals, distribution centres and heavy industry across Australia and internationally.

Known for its technically advanced equipment and high level of customer service, the company offers excellent job security, ongoing OEM training and genuine long-term career progression.

The Role

Based at the Bell Bay Port Facility, you will be responsible for servicing, maintaining and repairing the company's equipment across the site contract.

You will work alongside another technician, with the two of you sharing the servicing and on-call requirements. Although based in Tasmania, you will receive ongoing mentoring, training and technical support from two experienced leading hands and the wider Melbourne service team.

You'll work across equipment including:

• Heavy forklifts
• Reach stackers
• Container handlers
• Terminal tractors
• Cranes and integrated tool carriers
• Modern equipment incorporating EV technology

Your duties will include:

• Scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance
• Breakdowns, fault-finding and diagnostics

• Strong mechanical and diagnostic skills
• Knowledge of hydraulic and electrical systems
• The ability to diagnose faults and complete repairs autonomously
• Strong customer-facing and communication skills
• A safety-focused, reliable and professional attitude
• An interest in securing a long-term permanent position

Experience with forklifts, reach stackers, container handlers, terminal tractors or other materials-handling equipment will be highly regarded but is not essential.

Trade-qualified Light Vehicle Mechanics with strong diagnostic skills and the right attitude may also be considered, with mentoring and upskilling into heavy materials-handling and mobile plant equipment available.
