Industrial Maintenance Technician (Bayside Council)

Overview We’re looking for a hands‑on Industrial Maintenance Technician with a strong mechanical background and a problem‑solver’s mindset. This role is ideal for someone who loves to tinker, diagnose, and fix—someone who thrives on figuring things out and making equipment run better than before. You’ll work with a wide range of proprietary machinery, so the ability to quickly learn new systems and interpret complex schematics is critical. You’ll be responsible for keeping production equipment running smoothly in a fast‑paced industrial setting. The role is mechanically focused with strong involvement in pneumatics and hydraulics, plus basic electrical and PLC troubleshooting support. We’re also expanding and bringing in new production lines, so you’ll play a key role in helping install, test, and calibrate new equipment to get it up and running. If you’re a self‑starter who takes initiative, asks the right questions, and gets the job done without needing to be micromanaged, we want to talk to you. Compensation
