Mechanical Fitter – Fixed Plant Maintenance Barossa Valley, SA | Full-time, Permanent | Visa Sponsorship Available for the Right Candidate
A long-established South Australian timber manufacturer is looking for a hands-on Mechanical Fitter to keep its production plant running. This is a fixed-plant maintenance role in a busy, single-site operation — no two days the same, plenty of variety, and real ownership of the plant you look after.
If you've maintained conveyors, hydraulics and production machinery in any heavy or processing environment — timber, food processing, wineries, quarries, recycling, manufacturing — and you can think on your feet during a breakdown, we want to hear from you.
What you'll be doing
Hit Apply now with your resume. Candidates already holding Australian work rights and those requiring sponsorship are both encouraged to apply.

What you'll be doing
- Breakdown response and fault-finding across saws, conveyors, chippers and materials-handling equipment
- Preventative and scheduled maintenance to keep production uptime high
- Hydraulic and pneumatic system maintenance and repairs
- General fabrication and welding — guards, chutes, wear parts and modifications
- Working closely with production to plan and prioritise maintenance
- Mechanical trade qualification (Cert III Engineering – Mechanical) or strong hands-on maintenance experience as an all-rounder
- Solid hydraulics, pneumatics and conveyor system experience
- Confident with fault-finding and breakdowns in a production environment
- Welding and fabrication ability
- A reliable, proactive attitude and the ability to work autonomously
- Sawmilling or timber experience is a bonus, not essential — we'll back the right operator from an adjacent industry
- Permanent, secure full-time role with a stable, well-established business
- Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate (eligible mechanical fitters)
- Relocation support for those keen on a tree-change to one of Australia's premier wine regions
- Competitive hourly rate, negotiable on experience and tickets
