Melbourne, Victoria, Australia TRS Resourcing Full time $88,000 - $112,000 per year

Mechanical Fitter – Pneumatics & Hydraulics (Aviation Refuelling Equipment)

Location: Western Suburbs, Melbourne, VIC (Workshop)

Contract Type: 26-week labour-hire via TRS Resourcing (with Temp-to-Perm potential)

Pay: $55/hour NT + Super + Overtime + $27/day travel allowance

About the Opportunity: TRS Resourcing is partnering with a leader in road tanker construction/maintenance and aviation refuelling equipment.

Due to a strong pipeline of new builds and maintenance across both divisions, we're looking to onboard two trade-qualified Mechanical Fitters to support commercial fuel tanker trailers and advanced aviation refuelling systems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Install and route pneumatic airlines, valves, hoses, and related components
  • Fit pumps, actuators, and associated hydraulic and pneumatic equipment
  • Perform electrical fault-finding for integrated fluid control systems
  • Service, repair, and maintain both road tanker and aviation refuelling systems, ensuring compliance with safety and regulatory guidelines
  • Read, interpret, and execute engineering and workshop drawings
  • Prioritise workload effectively, working both independently and as part of a team

Aviation Refuelling Division — High-Pressure Pneumatics & Hydraulics Candidates will also be directly involved in servicing high-pressure pneumatic and hydraulic systems critical to aviation refuelling operations:

  • Maintain and install hose winding mechanisms, dead-man safety shutoffs, and interlock systems
  • Service high-flow aviation refuelling units, ensuring precision filtration, metering, and explosion-proof safety standards
  • Handle systems that operate safely at high pressures, blending hydraulic power drives with pneumatic control features for reliable and compliant fuel transfer.

What We're Looking For

  • A trade qualification (e.g., Mechanical Fitter, Fitter-Turner)
  • Hands-on experience with pneumatic and hydraulic systems, particularly high-pressure aviation components
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and ability to adapt across road and aviation refuelling systems
  • Own hand tools (specialist tools provided on-site)
  • Based in Melbourne, VIC, with legal eligibility to work in Australia
  • Two professional references

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Competitive pay: $55/hour + superannuation, overtime, and travel allowances
  • Varied and impactful scope: Gain experience across both road tankers and cutting-edge aviation refuelling equipment
  • Career progression potential: Perform strongly during the contract, and you may be offered a permanent position
  • Modern facility & team culture: Join a forward-thinking workshop environment with diverse technical challenges

**TRS Resourcing is committed to achieving a diverse workforce in Australia. Therefore, we strongly encourage female and Aboriginal / Torres Strait Islander applications.

Our team's culture is based on our belief in being honest and straightforward. No matter the job listings, you will always know it's an open position from us
