This is a unique and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys both practical mechanical work and sharing their knowledge with others. You'll play a key role in ensuring the reliability and performance of plant and equipment, while also helping operators and customers build their skills and confidence through practical, on-the-job training.

• Training & Support: Deliver hands-on, practical training to customers and operators, focusing on safe and effective equipment use. No formal training qualifications are required—just the ability to communicate clearly and a genuine interest in helping others learn.
• Customer Liaison: Work directly with customers to resolve technical issues, answer queries, and provide ongoing support.
• Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of all service work and training delivered.
• Safety Leadership: Promote and uphold a strong safety culture, ensuring compliance with all workplace health, safety, and environmental policies.

• Trade qualification as a Diesel Fitter or similar.
• Solid experience in plant and machinery maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs.
• Strong mechanical and/or electrical aptitude.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts in a clear, approachable way.
• A proactive, customer-focused attitude and a willingness to help others succeed.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
• Current driver's license.
