A bit about the role..
We are seeking a hands-on Maintenance Technician with practical experience in industrial, manufacturing, warehouse or automated material-handling environments. You will complete preventative maintenance, respond to equipment faults, perform first-line mechanical, electrical and controls troubleshooting, maintain accurate CMMS records, and support equipment availability across conveyors, sortation, robotics and packing equipment.
The successful candidate will have strong practical fault-finding skills, a sound understanding of safe isolation and LOTO practices, and the ability to work independently on routine maintenance while escalating complex technical issues appropriately. A trade qualification, technical certificate, apprenticeship background or equivalent hands-on experience is preferred. Experience with automation, PLC/HMI diagnostics, VFDs, pneumatics, hydraulics and CMMS systems will be highly regarded.
This is not a graduate engineering role and does not require senior-level PLC or electrical licensing capability. It is a hands-on industrial maintenance role for someone who can independently complete routine PMs, mechanical repairs and first-line fault finding, while developing towards automation and controls capability.
What you will do..
- Complete planned preventative maintenance on conveyors, robots, sorters and packing equipment.
- Respond to equipment abnormalities and breakdowns, completing initial diagnosis, containment and repairs within your authorised scope.
- Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical and automated equipment issues.
- Support authorised repairs involving PLC/HMI systems, VFDs, pneumatics, hydraulics and mechanical components.
- Escalate incidents to OEMs, integration partners or internal teams in line with the escalation process.
- Complete accurate work orders, maintenance logs and documentation in the CMMS.
- Help maintain equipment availability and meet key performance targets, including uptime, MTTR and MTBF.
- Manage critical spare parts, tools and repair kits to support fast and effective maintenance.
- Work with the Automation Engineer to investigate root causes and implement reliability improvements.
- Coordinate maintenance activities with Operations and Warehouse teams to minimise disruption to fulfilment activities.
- Support the installation and commissioning of new equipment when required.
- Participate in continuous improvement activities, including Kaizen, 5S and TPM.
- Identify and implement practical improvements to equipment, processes and maintenance activities.
Here’s the essential skills to set you off on an ICONIC journey..
- Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and practical fault-finding ability, with 2+ years’ experience in industrial maintenance, manufacturing, warehousing, automated MHE, or a similar operational environment.
- Trade qualification, technical certificate, completed/part-completed apprenticeship, or equivalent hands-on experience in mechanical, electrical, mechatronic or industrial maintenance.
- Experience completing planned preventative maintenance activities and responding to equipment faults or breakdowns.
- Working knowledge of conveyors, motors, sensors, pneumatics, drives, packing equipment, sortation or other automated equipment.
- Ability to safely isolate equipment and follow LOTO, permit-to-work and site safety procedures.
- Ability to read and interpret basic mechanical drawings, electrical schematics and equipment manuals.
- Practical problem-solving skills, including the ability to identify likely causes of faults, complete first-line repairs, and escalate appropriately where specialist support is required.
- Experience using a CMMS or similar system to complete work orders, record maintenance activity and document faults.
- Ability to manage tools, spare parts and basic maintenance kitting to support timely repairs.
- Positive, proactive approach, with the ability to work independently on routine work and collaboratively with Operations, OEMs and contractors.
- Clear written and verbal communication skills.
Desirable
- Experience maintaining automated material-handling equipment, including conveyors, sorters, robotics, ASRS, packing machines or warehouse control systems.

- Experience supporting equipment commissioning, testing or handover of new installations.
- Formal trade qualification in mechanical, electrical, fitting, mechatronics, automation or a related field.
