Mechanical Fitters – Step Into the Future of Automation

2&2 Roster | FIFO from Perth

Ready to take your skills from the workshop floor to cutting-edge automated facilities? This is your chance to join a Tier 1 Iron Ore mining company operating some of the most advanced robotic and process-controlled plants in Australia.

We’re seeking skilled Mechanical Fitters / Engineering Technicians who thrive in fast-paced, high-tech maintenance environments — whether that’s manufacturing, food processing, FMCG, or automated production lines.


Why This Role Stands Out
  • Work on fully automated, robotic workshop systems
  • Exposure to CNC machinery, advanced process controls & robotics
  • 6–12 month contract with strong potential to extend or go permanent
  • 2 & 2 roster (7 days / 7 nights) – excellent work/life balance
  • Strong pay rates + weekly pay + super on ALL hours
  • Join a high-performing, close-knit maintenance team

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Preventative and breakdown maintenance on automated plant equipment
  • Fault-finding to minimise downtime and improve reliability
  • Working across hydraulics, pneumatics and CNC machinery
  • Supporting continuous improvement across high-speed automated systems
  • Maintaining high safety and quality standards at all times

What We’re Looking For
  • Mechanical Fitter / Fitter Turner trade qualification
  • Experience in industrial, manufacturing, or automated environments
  • Strong fault-finding and problem-solving ability
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
  • Exposure to automation, robotics, CNC (Sinumerik highly regarded)
  • Background in factory or production environments highly regarded
  • 1SAP Experience highly regarded
  • Unrestricted Australian working rights - mandatory
  • Australian driver's license - mandatory

Who This Suits

Technicians currently working with:
  • Automated production lines
  • Robotics or process control systems
  • High-speed manufacturing equipment
Looking to step into a large-scale, high-tech operation.

Mining experience is not essential — strong candidates from modern, automated factory environments are encouraged to apply.

Take your mechanical career into advanced automation and apply today.
