Mechanical Tradesperson

Learn new skills. Boost your confidence.

If you could continue adding to your repertoire of existing skills in a new industry, you’d probably give it some thought, wouldn’t you?

Imagine installing, testing and performing routine maintenance (planned and unplanned) on a variety of pumps, valves and piping across the plants that carry water to your home, and homes around the region.

The variety of work will keep you busy and engaged. Whether you’re working alone or with your supportive colleagues, your mechanical trades experience will help you tackle complex problems on water and wastewater systems. This is your platform to learn and grow.

What’s in this for you?

There’ll be the occasional standby week. Whether you’re called out or not, you’ll get a 24-hour standby rate on top of your wage.

You can work a 9-day fortnight if that fits better with your personal life. You’ll also experience a host of other benefits like an extra 6 weeks’ annual leave after 3 years’ service, and 17.5% on top of your pay every time you take annual leave.

You’ll also get a relocation allowance moving to Geraldton.

About you

You’ll have a Mechanical Trade Certificate and a W.A ‘C’ Class driver’s license for driving to remote sites. You’ll also have High Risk Licences, such as LF, EWP, DG, or CV.
