Service Technician
Trade · Adelaide SA, Australia · Full-Time · $53 - $58/hr
Overhead cranes, hoists, gantries and industrial lifting systems break down, and someone has to find out why. This Adelaide field-service role is for industrial electricians who can prove real hands-on ability and want to specialise in exactly that kind of equipment.
Industry-specific training is provided, and you would put your existing electrical knowledge to work on fault-finding, preventative maintenance, commissioning and breakdown call-outs. Earning potential is strong, overtime is guaranteed, and you get the independence of moving between different industrial sites.
The role asks for a current or provisional Electrical Licence, so South African electricians should look into Australian licensing before applying.

- Respond to breakdowns and emergency call-outs and carry out repairs
- Do scheduled preventative maintenance, electrical inspections and equipment servicing to the required standards
- Test, commission and troubleshoot crane control systems
- Work on PLCs, motors, contactors, VSDs, limit switches and related controls
- Write accurate service reports and maintenance records
- Visit customer sites in metro and regional areas, with interstate travel now and then
- Take your turn on a rotating on-call roster
- Put in extra hours and guaranteed overtime as needed
