Join the growing team who look after our fleet of emergency vehicles - the same vehicles our crews use to fight bushfires, help at road crash rescues and attend emergencies every day.
Auto Electricians are needed to diagnose, repair and maintain our emergency vehicles and other equipment such as elevated work platforms and aerial appliances, automated computer systems, electric pneumatic systems and various integrated OEM heavy vehicle systems.
We also need Mechanical Technicians to look after our emergency vehicles, as well as equipment like hand-held firefighting or road crash rescue equipment, and aerial platform appliances.
You will be provided with continuous on-the-job training, including a variety of High Risk licences. These will enable you to take part in a 24-hour roster system where you are on call to provide mechanical support.

Here’s your chance to drop the 12-hour workdays and take back your weekends. With nine-day fortnights and every second Monday off, you’ll have more time for the good stuff in life.
As well as a great salary and being a part of something rewarding, our Auto Electricians and Mechanical Technicians also get a great range of benefits. Join the team and enjoy:
