YOUR NEW EMPLOYER
Join a well-established national company headquartered in Sydney — a market leader in the design, manufacture, and servicing of advanced machinery for the Stone and Woodworking industries.
Our equipment is trusted in workshops across Australia, New Zealand, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Vietnam, and the business is now entering a significant phase of expansion and innovation.
With continued growth across Western Australia, we are seeking a skilled Edgebander Technician to join our Perth-based service team.

YOUR NEW ROLE
Reporting directly to the Service Manager, you will join a team of highly trained technicians operating across Australia and New Zealand.
This position is ideal for someone with strong mechanical and electrical capability who has hands-on experience repairing, installing, commissioning, and maintaining edgebanders across multiple brands.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Preventive maintenance, breakdown servicing, and full installations of edgebanders
• Mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and control-system troubleshooting
• Machine setup, calibration, commissioning, and operator training
• Diagnosing glue systems, trimming units, scrapers, buffers, feed systems, and conveyors
• Providing technical support both on-site and remotely
• Preparing service reports, parts recommendations, and job documentation
• Participating in regular team meetings to share knowledge and discuss technical challenges

You will work a standard 40-hour week and will be paid hourly ($40-$50/hr depending on experience, approx. $90k-$100k+ package), with opportunities for additional overtime.
Comprehensive training and ongoing support will be provided.

• Ability to work both autonomously and collaboratively
• Current driver's licence

Highly desirable skills:

• Field service, mechanical fitting, or electrical background
• Exposure to brands such as SCM, Biesse, Hebrock, Holzher, Homag, or similar
• Understanding of machine control systems and process integration
