Several cattle stations in the remote north of Western Australia, run by one pastoral company, need two experienced, skilled mechanics. The work is keeping cars, trucks, motorbikes and station machinery running reliably, in a setting where cattle station life is part of the appeal.
Fitness for heat and humidity is a must, because the area has an extreme climate. Alcohol and drug tests can happen from time to time, and being intoxicated is not accepted. Skilled, eligible applicants who meet the criteria in the advertisement can be sponsored, and only people prepared to commit long term should apply.
