Electrical Field Service Engineer

Flanders Electric Australia (FEAU) keeps some of the biggest, most complex machines in Australian mining running: Draglines, Rope Shovels and the ARDVARC autonomous Rotary Blast Hole Drill platform. We're looking for an Electrical Field Service Engineer to join our team and take ownership of the control systems that make it all work.

This isn't a role where you'll be fixing the same fault on the same conveyor every week. You'll be troubleshooting control systems on some of the most sophisticated mobile equipment in the industry — equipment that's only getting smarter, as autonomous drilling and electrification retrofits reshape what “heavy machinery” means in Central Queensland. Maintenance, troubleshooting and repair to equipment including installation to meet OEM standards will be vital.

The successful candidate will have:

• A trade background with qualifications and experience in the Electrical Field
