  • Rail Safe Level 1 & 2 (preferred).
  • Strong experience as an Auto Mechanical Technician — ideally with locomotives.
  • Trade qualification in automotive or mechanical engineering.
  • 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.

Why Fortescue?

  • Work on world-class rail assets in a team that values safety, innovation and determination.
  • FIFO to Port Hedland with a lifestyle-friendly 4D/4N – 8 OFF roster.
  • Opportunities to grow your skills and progress your career in a supportive environment.
