Through an agricultural recruiter, a national horticultural business that controls its own supply chain is looking for a practical, trade-qualified Maintenance Technician / Fitter at its packing facility in the Bundaberg region of Queensland. This is a hands-on, varied role in an established and growing company. You will service and repair the packing line machinery and related mechanical equipment, helping to prevent breakdowns, lift reliability and keep production flowing, reporting to the Maintenance Supervisor in a small maintenance team.
During peak production you may be asked to work extra hours and the occasional Saturday, and during harvest there is some travel to assist at a further packing facility in the Northern Territory. Suitably qualified candidates can be supported with visa sponsorship.
