Mobile Service Technician

## About the Role

Looking to build a specialised, highly sought-after mechanical skill set?

We are seeking a mechanically minded individual to join our team as a Mobile Hose Fitter / Field Service Technician. In this role, you will operate a dedicated mobile service unit, responding to local breakdown requests and solve fluid power issues on-site.

You do not need prior hydraulic experience. We are looking for someone who loves hands-on problem-solving, working with tools, and wants to master a highly technical trade.

## What You Will Gain (The Pirtek Advantage)

When you join us, you aren't just getting a job on the road—you are gaining a world-class education from Australia's most experienced group of hydraulic hose and thread specialists. We will fast-track your technical knowledge from the ground up, teaching you:

* Hose Dynamics & Uses: Master the science behind high-pressure fluid systems, understanding how different hoses react to extreme pressure, temperature, and bend radiuses across diverse machinery.

* Advanced Thread Identification: Learn to identify and match a massive variety of European, American, British, and Asian threads and fittings on sight—a rare skill that makes you an invaluable technician.

* System Diagnostics: Develop the ability to inspect complex machinery, trace fluid lines, and diagnose faults on the fly.

## What We Offer

* Comprehensive Paid Training: Complete, hands-on training to get you fully confident with the tools, safety protocols, and technical data.

* On-the-Road Independence: Spend your days managing your own unit on the road, not trapped in the same workshop day after day.

* Stable, Local Roster: Predictable Monday to Friday day shifts (8:00 AM to 4:30 PM) with a shared after-hours roster (1 week on-call every 3 weeks).

* Tools of the Trade: Fully equipped service van, fuel card, and modern tools provided.

## Daily Variety (Where You Will Be Working)

You will travel to a diverse mix of local customer sites, keeping the work interesting:

* Civil construction and earthmoving projects

* Transport, trucking, and logistics depots

* Marine and waterfront facilities

* Local fixed-plant industrial sites

## What We Are Looking For

We are highly flexible on your background. You might be a trade-qualified mechanic/fitter looking to specialise, or someone with informal mechanical experience who just loves working with their hands.

* Strong Mechanical Aptitude: You enjoy pulling things apart, fixing things, and understanding how mechanical systems work. Prior knowledge of fitting is highly regarded but not required.

* Valid Driver's Licence (Essential): Because you will be operating a mobile service van and driving to field sites most of the day, a clean licence (either manual or automatic transmission) is a strict requirement.

* Reliability & Independence: You can work alone safely on-site, manage your time effectively, and turn up ready for your scheduled shifts and on-call weeks.

Candidates must possess valid work authorisation to be employed in Australia.
