Downer Group is a leading provider of integrated services in engineering, facility management, and infrastructure delivery across transport, utilities, and resources. Headquartered in Sydney, Australia, the company operates extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand, supporting critical public and private assets. Its comprehensive technical capabilities enable clients to design, build, and sustain complex systems that drive modern economic development.

Downer is seeking skilled Heavy Diesel Mechanics, Technicians, or Fitters to join our team in Mackay, QLD. This hybrid role offers the best of both worlds: workshop-based maintenance and the variety of field service. One day you’ll be in the workshop, the next you’ll be on site diagnosing faults and keeping projects moving.

If you thrive on variety, enjoy problem-solving, and want to be part of a team that values safety, quality, and collaboration-this role is for you. Overtime opportunities also available with penalty pay.

What We Offer

  • Competitive hourly rates based on experience, plus overtime opportunities
  • Hands-on work with a modern, well-maintained fleet of trucks and plant
  • Ongoing training and career development in a supportive environment
  • A strong safety-first culture with Zero Harm as a core value
  • Inclusive and team-focused culture with regular team activities

Key Responsibilities

  • Service, repair, and maintain heavy plant machinery and trucks
  • Diagnose and resolve breakdowns in the field
  • Ensure all work meets Downer’s high safety and operational standards
  • Work collaboratively within a skilled team while also operating independently

About You

  • Trade qualification in Heavy Diesel Mechanics, Plant Mechanics, or Fitting (essential)
  • Strong hydraulic knowledge and diagnostic skills
  • Experience with mobile plant, trucks, and heavy equipment
  • Auto electrical experience (highly regarded)
  • HR and Forklift licences (desirable)
  • A proactive approach and commitment to safety
