Fitters - For Rail

Mechanical Fitters Wanted – Depot Work | Immediate Starts | Sydney

Swetha International is recruiting qualified Mechanical Fitters to join a large rail and heavy-industry upgrade program supporting Sydney Trains operations.

This is not short shutdown work.

We’re building a dedicated production team for a program involving rolling stock upgrades, mechanical system renewals, safety equipment installation, and large-asset modifications.

If you want stable depot-based work with long-term security — this is your opportunity.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be part of a structured technical team delivering:

• Mechanical maintenance, upgrades and modification work
• Removal and installation of mechanical components and assemblies
• Fit-off, alignment and adjustment of equipment
• Supporting equipment change-outs and system upgrades
• Working from drawings, procedures and technical specifications
• Reassembly and reinstatement of panels, covers and fittings
• Working in depot environments including confined spaces
• Following established procedures, scopes and safety systems

This is hands-on mechanical work on large assets — not workshop-only or construction site hopping.

What we need from you

Essential

• Trade qualification in Mechanical (Certificate III Engineering – Mechanical Trade or equivalent)
• Strong mechanical fitting and installation experience
• Ability to interpret drawings and follow technical procedures
• Safety-first mindset
• Comfortable with physical work and depot environments
• Full Australian working rights
• Own basic hand tools

Rail-ready or willing to become rail-ready

• RIW card (or willingness to obtain — CAT 3 medical + D&A required)
• National Police Check (within the past 6 months)

Highly regarded (not essential)

• Rolling stock or rail experience
• Heavy industry / mobile plant background
• Experience with large asset modification or upgrade programs

What’s in it for you

Immediate and staged starts available

• Large dedicated crews — consistent teams
• Sydney metro depot location
• Structured scopes of work (no guessing each day)
• Opportunity to remain ongoing after initial project phases
• Supported onboarding and compliance assistance

This is one of the rare opportunities to secure long-term mechanical work on major fleet upgrade programs without chasing shutdowns.
