Crane Heavy Diesel Mechanic
Trade · Perth, Australia · Full-Time · $60/hr
One morning you are in the workshop stripping a hydraulic fault on a mobile crane; the next you are out on site getting a stranded machine moving again. A well-established heavy equipment company in Perth, Western Australia wants an experienced Mobile Crane Mechanic for exactly that mix.
The fleet is modern, and the cranes and heavy machinery go out to tough construction, industrial and infrastructure jobs. Your task is to find faults fast, fix them properly and keep downtime low without cutting corners on safety or quality.
Ongoing technical training, career development and long-term work come with the job. If your trade certificate is South African, expect it to be assessed again in Australia, so keep the paperwork in order.
