Geraldton, Western Australia beBeeTechnician Full time $96,811 - $109,527

The SKA Observatory is a next-generation radio astronomy facility that will revolutionise our understanding of the Universe and the laws of fundamental physics.

In Australia, we are collaborating with various partners to operate and support the construction of the low frequency telescope (SKA-Low) in remote Western Australia on Wajarri Yamaji Country.

The Traditional Owners and native title holders, the Wajarri Yamaji, have gifted us with the traditional name Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara for the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory, home to the SKA-Low telescope. The traditional name means 'sharing sky and stars' in the Wajarri language.

We require an experienced HVAC Technician to ensure the reliable operation of sophisticated cooling systems across the telescope site. This role will be responsible for the diagnostics, maintenance, repair, and upgrading of a range of high-performance HVAC systems, including water-cooled chillers, split systems, and specialised industrial air-conditioning and cooling infrastructure.

This role will work on a FIFO 8-days on 6-days off working roster.

Your Key Responsibilities will include:

  • Investigate and resolve system faults, alarms, and incidents swiftly, collaborating with internal teams and contractors to ensure minimal disruption.
  • Provide expert technical guidance on fault diagnostics, system reliability, and performance improvement opportunities.
  • Perform routine and corrective maintenance on site infrastructure to maximise system reliability and uptime.
  • Respond promptly to system failures and malfunctions, implementing effective corrective actions in coordination with stakeholders.
  • Plan and execute system upgrades, installations, and modifications in accordance with engineering specifications and site standards.

To succeed in this role, you will need a current Australian Refrigeration Mechanic Trade qualification, demonstrating a solid foundation in mechanical and HVAC systems. You will also need to hold a valid Arctick Refrigerant Handling Licence, and either a Restricted Electrical Licence or a full WA Electrical Licence, enabling safe and compliant electrical work associated with HVAC systems. Proven hands-on experience working with complex HVAC systems, particularly those involving water-chilled equipment racks, flow balancing, and precision cooling in critical environments is essential.

We are looking for someone who can demonstrate the capacity to work safely and productively within a small engineering team, showing initiative, self-motivation, and the ability to operate effectively with minimal supervision. Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to prepare clear documentation and effectively use standard software tools for correspondence, record-keeping, and updates are also required.
