About the position

Hands-on, on the move! Be the go-to Technician in the West Coast!

Is this you?

You're a technically minded, hands-on problem solver who loves getting stuck into the details. Fault finding, fixing, and fine-tuning are second nature to you. You take pride in getting forklifts back up and running quickly and safely. You're dependable, organised, and enjoy working independently, yet you know when to reach out to your team.

What you'll be doing (and why you'll enjoy it):

You'll be servicing and maintaining a fleet of mainly electric forklifts across key sites in the West Coast. From diagnosing electrical and mechanical faults to completing scheduled maintenance and responding to breakdowns, you'll ensure all equipment runs smoothly and efficiently. You'll record your work accurately, manage parts, and communicate effectively with site teams, keeping operations flowing. With a mix of site visits, on-call support, and occasional travel, no two days will be the same.

Where you'll be doing it:

You'll join a respected international leader in material handling solutions, known for their innovation in electric forklift technology. You will be based in the West Coast area.
Their team culture values reliability, professionalism, and teamwork, with a strong focus on quality service and technical excellence. You'll be supported by a dedicated Service Manager and a network of experienced Technicians who share your passion for machinery that works perfectly.

What you'll need:

You'll have at least 5 years of experience as a Technician working on forklifts or similar equipment, ideally with both electrical and mechanical exposure. A relevant trade test or N3 in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is required. You're confident diagnosing and repairing faults, can manage your time effectively, and hold a valid driver's licence. Experience with electric forklifts will be a bonus, training is available if you're strong on the mechanical side.

What you'll get:

You'll earn a competitive, market-related salary with 100% medical aid cover and a portion to pension. You will also receive standby and overtime, and the chance to work with cutting-edge electric machinery. This is a company that rewards commitment, with an annual bonus and opportunities for ongoing technical development.
