As a Mechanical Technician, you’ll play a critical role in keeping CleanCo’s Kareeya and Koombooloomba hydro power stations operating safely, reliably and efficiently. You’ll apply your mechanical trade expertise to maintain, repair and improve complex power station plant and equipment, while helping protect long-term asset integrity.

This role is a full-time, permanent position that works 36.25 hours over a Tuesday to Friday roster and is based at Kareeya Power Station. Relocation assistance will be provided should you not already live locally to the Kareeya Power Station.

On your first day we expect you to have:
