Maintenance Technician / Fitter
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Bundaberg, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $95,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Thinking about kerja luar negara as a mechanical fitter? This Queensland role is worth a closer look. A vertically integrated horticultural company with operations across Australia wants a trade-qualified fitter for its packing facility in the Bundaberg region, and an agricultural recruiter is managing applications for the established, growing business.
In the role you report to the Maintenance Supervisor and work in a small team. You keep packing line machinery and related mechanical equipment serviced and repaired so breakdowns drop, reliability improves and production keeps moving. If you have worked on a production line before, think about the repairs you are proudest of.
Flexibility matters too, with extra hours and occasional Saturdays during peak production, and some travel during harvest to support maintenance at another packing facility in the Northern Territory. Visa sponsorship is available for suitably qualified candidates.
Your next step is an updated English CV that lists your trade qualification, the hydraulic and pneumatic systems you know and your welding work. Put together a practical fitter CV with Build AI CV.
