* Communicate effectively with supply chain, customer service and internal sales teams to keep jobs moving.
* Apply practical 5S and Lean principles to your own work to support workshop efficiency.
* Drive a culture where "close enough isn't good enough" is the standard.
* Contribute to safety and continuous improvement initiatives within the workshop.
What we are looking for
* Trade certificate in Mechanical Fitting or Cert III Engineering.
* 5+ years' experience in hydraulic/pneumatic tool fault‐finding and repair.
* LF Forklift license with at least 2‐3 years' experience driving a forklift.
* Strong safety mindset and commitment to compliance.
* Excellent problem‐solving and time‐management skills.
* Competent computer skills, including Microsoft Office and tablet‐based systems.

* Experience with brands such as Enerpac, Huck, CP and Safe Gauge.
* Hydraulics diagnostics, certificates or formal training.
* Experience applying 5S or Lean principles in a workshop environment.
Why Join AHPC?
* Competitive remuneration and incentives.
* Career development opportunities within a growing business.
* Structured systems, strong safety programs and carbon‐neutral operations.
* Supportive team culture that values quality, reliability and professionalism.
* Work with Tier 1 mining clients and world‐class tooling brands.
* Australian‐Owned company.
