About the RoleWe're looking for a trade-qualified Diesel Mechanic to join our Plant team, maintaining, servicing, and operating specialised rail track maintenance equipment across Melbourne's metro area. Primarily based from our Sunshine Plant Yard, you'll hit the road in a company-supplied tool-of-trade vehicle, travelling between sites to keep our rail fleet running safely and efficiently.

This role offers genuine variety and autonomy, one day you'll be servicing plant in the yard, the next you'll be on-site operating rail track equipment to support live maintenance works. It's a great opportunity for mechanics from mobile plant, heavy vehicle, or truck backgrounds to expand their skills into a unique and growing rail sector.

Key responsibilities:

  • Carry out inspections, repairs, and servicing on rail plant, vehicles, and equipment both in-yard and on-site.
  • Service, diagnose, and repair rail-mounted and heavy plant machinery.
  • Operate rail track maintenance equipment as required
  • Liaise with the Plant Supervisor to plan efficient, cost-effective maintenance.
  • Maintain accurate service records and uphold all safety and quality standards.

About You

You're a qualified Diesel Mechanic who takes pride in your work and is keen to learn something new.

You'll bring:

  • Trade qualification in Diesel Mechanics.
  • Current driver's licence.
  • High risk LF (Forklift) licence advantageous.
  • Experience in mobile plant, truck, or heavy vehicle maintenance.
  • A safety-first mindset and the ability to work independently in the field.
  • Curiosity and motivation to upskill on specialist rail and track maintenance equipment.

Why join us?

The work you'll do will have a tangible positive impact on people's lives, including yours. The diversity of our projects, roles and locations means greater development opportunities. We invest in our people to set and reach personal and professional goals and we have some of the best mentoring minds in the business to help you do that.  Because when you grow, we all grow.

McConnell Dowell actively seeks and celebrates diversity, inclusion, and individuality. In a culture low on ego and high on support, we encourage everyone to make an impact. We're big enough to take on community-shaping projects, but agile enough for you to have an influence on how we do things.

So, join us, be you, and help us create better together. Apply now

We are an equal opportunity employer. People of all ages, abilities, sexual orientation, gender identities & cultures including Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islanders are strongly encouraged to apply.
