When hydraulics stop, everything stops. you're the one they call.
About Us
Toowoomba Bearings & Hydraulics is a long-standing, locally owned trade business servicing the darling downs and beyond.
We supply bearings, hydraulics and industrial components — and we don't just sell parts. we fix problems.
Our hydraulics division includes a fully equipped rebuild workshop and field service vehicles supporting agriculture, mining, construction, earthmoving and industrial customers when downtime isn't an option.
Quality, safety and doing the job properly matter here — because our customers rely on their gear to make a living.
About the Role
As a hydraulic fitter / technician, you'll be hands-on repairing, rebuilding and fault-finding hydraulic systems — both in the workshop and out in the field.
This role suits someone who enjoys variety: strip-and-assess work, breakdowns, diagnostics, rebuilds and customer problem-solving.
You'll be trusted to work independently, represent the business professionally, and deliver reliable outcomes every time.

* communicate clearly with customers about faults, solutions and timelines
* maintain clean, safe and organised work areas
* follow all safety procedures, especially around high-pressure systems

* can work unsupervised and take ownership of jobs
* communicates well with customers and teammates
* takes pride in clean work, correct tolerances and doing it once — properly
Australian citizenship is required for this position.
What You'll Get
* competitive salary aligned to skill and experience
* performance and sales-based bonuses
* company service vehicle, phone and laptop
* uniforms supplied
* workshop facilities most fitters wish they had
