Permanent full-time | Mostly workshop-based | Home every night

Want a strong hourly rate, varied machinery, and a local role with a business that’s genuinely building its maintenance team? Our client is hiring a Heavy Duty Mechanic for its Geraldton workshop.

About Our Client

Our client is the maintenance arm of an established WA waste, recycling and resources group, with workshops and offices in Geraldton, Kalgoorlie, Leonora and Perth. The maintenance team has grown from one person to about 30 tradespeople, with 14 hired this year alone. More work is on the way, so this is a business where you can grow.

What’s On Offer

• $70 per hour + super, as a permanent full-time role
• Local Geraldton role, Monday to Friday, home every night, with no FIFO
• Mostly workshop-based, with field work only for breakdowns
• Varied equipment you won’t see in a standard earthmoving fleet
• Long-term security in a business that keeps investing in its maintenance team

The Equipment

You’ll maintain surface equipment used mainly in scrap steel processing, across makes from Caterpillar to Sennebogen and Hitachi:

• excavators
• integrated tool carriers (ITs)
• material handlers
• shears
• balers

Key Responsibilities

• Service, maintain and repair heavy mobile plant
• Diagnose faults and complete repairs in the workshop
• Attend breakdowns in the field when required
• Complete servicing records and follow site safety procedures

About You

You’re a qualified Heavy Duty Mechanic with an earthmoving background who likes variety and wants a stable, long-term local role in Geraldton.

Requirements

• Trade qualification, with at least 2 years’ post-trade experience
• Earthmoving or heavy mobile plant background
• Based in Geraldton, or willing to relocate there
• Driver’s licence (an HR or MC licence is desirable but not essential)
• Clear National Police Clearance
• Ability to pass a full pre-employment medical and drug and alcohol testing

Why This Role?

$70/hr in a local Geraldton role, mostly in the workshop, working on machinery that keeps the job interesting. You’d also join a team that has grown from one tradesperson to 30 and is still growing.
