Laverton North, Victoria, Australia Clennett Hire Full time
Be the driving force behind top-tier gear — and a great team.

You're not just a mechanic, you're the kind of person who takes pride in doing things right, every time. You know your way around mobile plant gear, love solving problems on the fly, and take satisfaction in keeping machines (and people) running smoothly.

At Clennett Hire, we don't just rent equipment, we deliver reliability. Our fleet is new, our technology is cutting-edge, and our people are the reason our clients come back.

Now we're looking for a hands-on Leading Hand / Field Services Technician to join our Laverton North branch and help drive our service excellence even further.

What You'll Do

You'll get the best of both worlds - a mix of workshop leadership and on-site action:

  • Lead the way – Support the Service Manager with daily workshop coordination and mentoring apprentices.
  • Get your hands dirty – Carry out servicing, repairs, and diagnostics on our modern fleet — in the yard and out in the field.
  • Keep us ready to roll – Make sure every machine leaves the yard clean, fuelled, and ready for hire.
  • Solve and support – Respond to breakdowns quickly, troubleshoot issues, and get clients back on track fast.
  • Set the standard – Drive safety, organisation, and teamwork in everything you do.
What You Bring
  • Trade-qualified Diesel or Plant Mechanic (or similar)
  • 3–5+ years' experience in plant or mobile equipment servicing
  • A knack for leading people, you enjoy helping others develop and take pride in their work
  • Great mechanical knowledge across diesel, electrical and hydraulic systems
  • Problem-solving skills that keep you calm under pressure
  • Experience with hire management systems (Syrinx preferred)
  • Licences: Driver's, White Card, Forklift, Working at Heights, and ideally HRW / EWP
Why You'll Love Working Here
  • New fleet, new facilities, great gear – You'll work with the best equipment in a purpose-built, modern workshop.
  • Your own Hilux service vehicle – fully equipped for on-site work.
  • Real development – Continuous OEM, HRW, and internal training with career growth opportunities as we expand.
  • Strong team culture – Join a group that genuinely supports each other, celebrates wins, and takes pride in delivering quality.
  • Be recognised – You're not a number here. Your ideas, leadership, and initiative will make a visible impact.
