Looking for a role with a bit more spark? You're in the right place.

We're looking for Auto Electricians who know the difference between a blown fuse and a blown opportunity.

Join Emeco at Olympic Dam and spend your days working on some of the biggest gear in mining, not chasing the same boring faults on the same machines every day.

Here's what's in it for you...

  • Earn $146,000 – $180,000 per year (based on experience)
  • Full time and casual options available – Choose what suits you
  • 2:2 Roster - Work 7 days, 7 nights... then disappear for 14 glorious days off.
  • Flights, accommodation & meals included- Site is just an hour from Adelaide.
  • Super paid on ALL hours worked
  • Performance Bonus Scheme – Because good work deserves more than just a pat on the back.
  • $5,000 Refer a Mate Bonus - Bring your favourite sparky along.
  • Fortnightly pay - Every second Thursday. Like clockwork.
  • Golf simulators at camp - because your swing deserves maintenance too
  • Plus, novated leasing, health insurance discounts, travel perks and plenty more.

What You'll Be Working On

  • CAT 992K & 992G Loaders
  • CAT 785C Haul Trucks

  • CAT 14M & 16M Graders
  • Komatsu PC2000 Excavators
  • Atlas Copco T45 Drills

Basically... if it's big, yellow, dirty and expensive, you'll probably be working on it.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

  • Diagnosing electrical faults before everyone else starts guessing.
  • Carrying out 12V & 24V electrical repairs, maintenance and upgrades.
  • Keeping machines productive and downtime to a minimum.
  • Working alongside a solid crew who know how to get the job done.
  • Doing it all safely (because going home every swing is non-negotiable)

You'll Fit Right in If You Have...

  • Trade Qualification as an Auto Electrician
  • Nationally Recognised Air Conditioning Licence
  • Current Driver's Licence
  • Experience on heavy mining or earthmoving equipment
  • Strong fault-finding skills and the ability to make electrical problems disappear.

At Emeco you'll find:

  • A variety of equipment
  • Competitive pay that rewards your skills
  • Bonuses on top of your salary
  • A supportive crew that actually enjoys coming to work
  • Career progression opportunities across Australia

And yes... you'll probably spend your day fixing haul trucks before trying to fix your golf handicap after dinner.
