Portable Fire Equipment Technician

Looking for a FIFO role where the operation runs smoothly and you've got the right support around you?

There's a difference between being expected to get the job done and having the systems, resources and people around you to do it efficiently.

This is an 8 days on, 6 days off FIFO opportunity from Perth for an experienced Portable Fire Equipment Technician, working across a variety of established sites throughout the Pilbara.

You'll be joining a highly experienced Fire Protection team with low staff turnover and strong internal support. The operation is well organised, with reliable back-office coordination and established processes that allow Technicians to focus on delivering quality work, rather than dealing with unnecessary administrative challenges.

• Experienced, Stable Team: Join knowledgeable Technicians who understand the industry, willingly share their expertise and support one another.
• Long-Term Stability: Work across established major contracts with an ongoing pipeline of fire protection servicing and maintenance.
• Five Weeks' Annual Leave: Enjoy additional time away from work, alongside a consistent 8:6 FIFO roster.
• Tools and Resources Provided: Receive a tool-of-trade vehicle, mobile phone, tools and uniform to support your daily responsibilities.
• Employee Benefits: Access an employee discount platform offering savings across major brands.
• Ongoing Development: Continue building your technical knowledge through training, upskilling and opportunities for career progression.

Key Responsibilities

• Inspect, test, service and maintain portable fire protection equipment, including fire extinguishers, fire blankets and fire hose reels.
• Identify defects, damaged equipment and items requiring repair or replacement.
• Undertake scheduled inspection and maintenance across multiple Pilbara sites.
• Ensure equipment is maintained in accordance with AS 1851 and other relevant Australian Standards.
• Complete accurate inspection records, service documentation and reporting using company systems.
• Manage job priorities and complete scheduled work within required timeframes.
• Build effective working relationships with clients and site personnel.
• Work in accordance with company and client HSEQ requirements and procedures.

About You

• Experience inspecting, testing and servicing portable fire protection equipment.
• Sound knowledge of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, hose reels and associated equipment.
• Knowledge of AS 1851 and applicable Australian Standards.
• Current driver's licence and unrestricted Australian working rights.
• Construction Industry White Card, or the ability to obtain one.
• Ability to work autonomously while contributing effectively within a team.
• Strong organisational skills to prioritise work and meet deadlines.
• A genuine customer focus and commitment to delivering quality work.
