Position Overview:
We are seeking a motivated Field Service/Workshop Technician to join our team. This full-time role, based in Mackay, offers a unique opportunity to establish a stable career with occasional FIFO and DIDO for customer site visits!
A Week in the Life of Our Technician:
Monday: A Sunrise Start
Imagine starting your day with the sun just peeking above the horizon. As a Field Service/Workshop Technician, you hop into your company vehicle, coffee in hand, and drive towards a client site. On today’s agenda is a thorough survey check of gauges at a customer site. The client loves your ability to spot non-conformances that others might miss which ensures safety and compliance.
Tuesday: A Day in the Workshop
In our workshop, every day’s a busy one, and we need someone who’s not only sharp with their skills but can also handle a bit of everything. Whether you're behind the wheel of a forklift shifting some hefty gear, or firing up the welder to knock out some custom pieces, you'll have plenty of variety to keep you on your toes.
Wednesday: The Problem Solver
Midweek throws a curveball. A client reports a gauge read-out is faulty, threatening to slow or stop production. You rock up onsite with all your PPE and replacement components, diving straight into the problem, while also noticing safety signage needs replacing, and organising a quote through your team. It’s all in a day’s work for you: part tradie, part company rep, always ready to lend a hand and a bit of know-how.
Thursday: Routine Checks and Balancing Duties
Thursday's all about keeping things ticking over smoothly. You kick off early, taking in the morning air on your drive, gearing up mentally for the day. It's full-on with routine maintenance - every gauge readout and survey meter gets your expert eye. You log each check on your work app, making sure everything's up to scratch with the tough safety standards. Your thorough reports are key; they keep McKavanagh Engineering Services' reputation top-notch, ensuring the customer’s compliance and peace of mind.
Friday: Flexibility and Teamwork
As Friday rolls around, you're back in the workshop collaborating on a team project. Today's goal is to restore an older gauge, sandblasting it and respraying it to make it as-new. You take the lead on the technical aspects of the project. It's the satisfaction of seeing an old gauge come back to life through your skilled refurbishment which leads into a relaxing weekend with friends and family.
Role and Responsibilities:
