Ability to work shifts, inclusive of call back and weekend work (as required)
Demonstrated ability to read hydraulic and pneumatic drawings
Some hydraulic and pneumatic fault finding ability.
Some welding experience and knowledge
Desirable Skills: (do you have 5 out of 7 of the below?)

Some steel and plate Fabrication experience
Microsoft Windows and other Office programs
Dogmen ticket

If you’ve had enough of the FIFO lifestyle — the long stints away, the early flights, and missing out on the moments that matter — this could be the change you’ve been looking for, then we would like to hear from you.
