About Us
Pointe Engineering is a specialist ground improvement contractor. We're experts in drilling and grouting to control water and stabilise ground for major infrastructure like dams, tunnels and mines.
Our work often takes us where others can't go — steep slopes, tight sites, and remote locations. That means limited-access geotechnical drilling off ropes, using specialist equipment and a small crew that knows how to get the job done safely and efficiently.
We're now looking for a Rope Access Technician to join our slope stabilisation team. If you like working outdoors, tackling tough jobs, and building skills that few others have, this role is for you.

• IRATA Level 1 trained

• A team player who's not afraid to step in and help wherever needed
⸻
What You Need to Have
• White Card
• Work at Heights certification
• National Police Clearance
• Current Driver's Licence

• Bonus: Trade skills in drilling, excavator operation, shotcreting, or concreting (highly regarded and will set you apart)

What You Can Expect
• Work in a tight-knit crew with supervisors who are hands-on and lead from the front
• Exposure to specialist limited-access drilling off ropes and slope stabilisation methods that few companies in Australia deliver
• A secure, supportive work workplace where safety is never compromised
• The option to undertake a Certificate III in Drilling traineeship to formally develop your career

It's a chance to get involved in specialist geotechnical construction and build a trade career while working on some of the toughest and most rewarding projects in the industry.
