Melbourne | Specialist Equipment | Flexible Engagement
Fernwood is seeking a reliable and mechanically minded technician to support our Hypoxi studios across Victoria.
Hypoxi is a specialised, low-impact exercise system using vacuum compression technology. We are looking to secure a dedicated technician to support servicing, troubleshooting and preventative maintenance across our network.
This is not a traditional full-time role. It is a flexible engagement suited to an experienced technician seeking ongoing, part-time work.

* Servicing and preventative maintenance of Hypoxi machines
* Diagnosing and resolving mechanical or technical faults
* Equipment adjustments and part replacements

* Liaising with suppliers where required
* Providing practical troubleshooting guidance to club teams
* Training and mentoring other technicians as our network grows
* Workload varies week to week, averaging approximately 5–10 hours per week across the year.
* Availability for some weekend work is required to accommodate the flexible nature of this role.
Occasional interstate travel may be required to support installations, complex servicing or technician training.
Engagement Options
We are open to structuring this role in one of the following ways:
* Casual employment (hourly rate + travel time and kilometre reimbursement), or
* Independent contractor arrangement (hourly or call-out basis)
The structure will be agreed based on experience, availability and mutual fit.
This is intended as a long-term arrangement with flexibility on both sides.
About You

* Experience training or mentoring others is desirable
* Practical problem-solving skills
* Professional communication style
