The Opportunity

Looking to take your Heavy Diesel career into underground mining?

I'm looking for a Heavy Diesel Fitter to join an established underground hard rock mine near Bendigo in regional Victoria.

You don't need previous underground mining experience for this one. If you're a qualified Heavy Diesel Mechanic with solid experience across mobile plant, earthmoving or similar heavy equipment, the site can provide the training and support to get you up to speed underground.

This is a permanent, long-term position offering an even-time 7:7 roster, consistent hours and the opportunity to build your mining experience without having to travel interstate.

The Site

Join an established underground operation with a long mine life, supportive management and a close-knit maintenance team.

The site employs approximately 250 people and offers a stable environment for tradespeople looking to establish a long-term career in underground mining.

The Role

Reporting to the Maintenance Supervisor, you'll join an experienced mobile maintenance team responsible for keeping the underground fleet running safely and reliably.

Initially, you'll spend time within the workshop before progressing into underground field and breakdown work once trained and competent.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance
• Breakdown repairs and fault finding
• Component change-outs and repairs
• Diagnostics across mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems
• Workshop-based maintenance

The Equipment

You'll gain exposure to a varied underground mobile fleet including:

• Underground mining trucks
• Loaders / boggers
• Drills
• Integrated tool carriers
• Charge-up equipment
• Spray rigs

This gives you the opportunity to develop across a much broader range of equipment rather than working on the same machines day in, day out.

The Roster

Enjoy an even-time roster giving you a full week off between swings:

• 7 days on / 7 days off / 7 nights on / 7 days off
• Wednesday to Tuesday rotation
• 12-hour shifts
• Permanent position
• Regional Victorian location

Your Skills & Experience

This role will suit a qualified Heavy Diesel Fitter with strong mobile plant experience who is either already working within mining or looking to make the move underground.

You'll bring:

• Heavy Diesel / Diesel Mechanic trade qualification
• Strong experience working across mobile plant equipment
• Background in earthmoving, civil, heavy equipment or mining
• Good mechanical fault-finding and diagnostic ability
• Strong understanding of hydraulic and electrical systems
• Confidence carrying out servicing, repairs and component change-outs
• Strong safety focus
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a maintenance team
• Positive attitude and willingness to learn underground equipment and systems

Previous underground mining experience is highly regarded but isn't essential.

The Benefits

• Permanent position with long-term job security
• Entry into underground mining for experienced mobile plant fitters
• Lifestyle-friendly 7:7 roster
• Consistent 12-hour shifts
• Ongoing underground equipment training and development
• Broad exposure across an underground mobile fleet
