  • Hands-on knowledge of locomotive engines, diagnostics, and mechanical systems.
  • Problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail, and a strong safety mindset.
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a high-performing team.

  • FIFO to Port Hedland with a lifestyle-friendly 4D/4N – 8 OFF roster.
