Line Borer - Field Service

Why This Role Stands Out

• Top rates for the right experience – up to $56.55/hr + OT at $84.83/hr
• Permanent, full-time work with consistent hours
• Brand-new line boring trucks fitted with industry-leading equipment
• Mix of field service and high-volume workshop boring
• Work on large Caterpillar and heavy mobile equipment
• Strong team culture with experienced trades around you
• Clear pathways for progression within Australia’s largest CAT dealership

The Work You’ll Be Doing

• Reading and working from engineering drawings and tolerances
• Precision machining to restore critical component alignment
• Problem-solving with workshop leaders and fellow trades
• Maintaining a high safety standard at all times
• Delivering quality workmanship that meets time and customer expectations

Roster & Hours

• Monday to Friday - 48-hour week
  • EARLY FINISH ON FRIDAYS!
• Roster: 5 Days ON 2 Off X 2, then 5 Nights on 2 Off X 2

What We’re Looking For

You’re a trade-qualified machinist or fitter who knows line boring and takes pride in doing the job right.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade with post-trade experience in line boring.
• Proven post-trade line boring experience
• Experience in heavy equipment, mining or earthmoving
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team
• Strong safety mindset and reliability
• MR licence (desirable, or willingness to obtain)
• CAT equipment experience (highly regarded, not essential)
• A practical, no‑nonsense approach and “get it done properly” attitude
