Mechanical Fitter – Strip & Assess (Pulley Workshop)

About the company
A long-standing Australian manufacturer supplying conveyor components to the mining and bulk materials sector. The business continues to invest in Lean improvements, equipment upgrades and workshop efficiency while maintaining a practical, safety-first culture. Their pulley division manages both new builds and refurbishment work for major clients across the country.

About the role
This position sits in the Strip & Assess area, where pulleys returned from site are stripped down, cleaned and inspected to determine what can be refurbished and what requires replacement. It’s not precision bearing work, but it does require mechanical aptitude and attention to detail. You’ll complete assessments using a pre-built digital report, document findings and add photos before the report moves on to engineering and estimating for client approval.

The role suits a skilled mechanical fitter who enjoys hands-on work and methodical inspection, with the opportunity to step into a Leading Hand position once established.
