Service Technician

Liebherr Group, a global original equipment manufacturer with decades of experience, is looking for a Service Technician to join its on-site team in Singleton, Australia. This full-time role is based locally and involves hands-on maintenance and repair work with heavy machinery. It’s a great fit for technicians who enjoy practical problem solving, strong diagnostics, and a stable, long-term position with a worldwide company.

The company has a long history of delivering high-quality, reliable equipment and support. In this role, you’ll be part of a team that values safety, teamwork and continuous development, with opportunities to grow your career within a well-known global brand.

If you’re trade-qualified in diesel or mobile plant mechanics and you want to contribute on-site to keep complex machines running smoothly, this could be the right move for you.

What the days on site look like

On a typical day you’ll diagnose electrical and mechanical faults on site machines, including hydraulic issues, and carry out both major and minor services as required. You’ll handle maintenance and component replacements across the equipment under your responsibility, and you’ll complete machine health assessments with proper reporting. Documentation matters here, so you’ll ensure timesheets and maintenance requests and any other site paperwork are accurate and up to date.

Must-have qualifications

To be in the running, you should meet these core requirements.

• A trade qualification as a Diesel or Mobile Plant Mechanic, paired with one of these certificates: Certificate III Mobile Plant Technology; Certificate III Engineering (Mechanical); Certificate III Engineering (Mechanical) Diesel Fitter; Certificate III Automotive Electrical Technology
• Proven ability to diagnose and fault-find across mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems
• Self-motivated with clear, effective communication skills
• Previous experience in a similar role working with heavy machinery, ideally Liebherr excavators such as the R9300, R9400 and R9800
• A current driver’s licence

Nice-to-haves

Any additional hands-on experience with heavy equipment or related service work would help strengthen your application.

This is a full-time, onsite role based in Singleton, Australia.

Liebherr-Australia supports its people with a broad benefits package, including paid parental leave, bonus leave, purchase leave and early access to long service leave, corporate health insurance, a novated lease option, a Travel Club, and access to the Liebherr One Hub employee discount portal. The company also runs training programs to help you grow, including soft skills and leadership development, with clear opportunities for career progression. Diversity and inclusion sit at the heart of Liebherr’s core values, and the organization aims to build a workforce that reflects the communities it serves, built on mutual respect and teamwork.

Advice for applicants

Put your trade credentials up front on your resume. Lead with your qualification as a Diesel or Mobile Plant Mechanic and list the exact certificates you hold, Certificate III Mobile Plant Technology, Certificate III Engineering (Mechanical), Certificate III Engineering (Mechanical) Diesel Fitter, and Certificate III Automotive Electrical Technology.

Demonstrate your diagnostics and fault-finding strengths with concrete examples from past roles. Describe the systems you worked on, the steps you took to identify the fault, and the outcome, especially if you’ve handled heavy equipment similar to Liebherr machines.

In interviews, be ready to walk through a recent service or repair you led. Explain your diagnostic approach, the problems you encountered, the actions you took, and how you documented the work, including timesheets and maintenance requests, and how you kept stakeholders informed.

Ask about team structure and on-site support, and inquire about training and development opportunities that help you maintain your skills and progress within Liebherr.
