While the role is predominantly Melbourne metro-based, occasional regional travel will be required.

You will be provided with an attractive salary package, fully maintained company vehicle, mobile phone, power tools, and ongoing training and support.  You will be working alongside an experienced and collaborative team as we support Centsys products.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Providing a high level of customer service at all times

• Fault finding, diagnosis and repairs across a wide range of gate automation equipment

Strong work ethic with a reliable and professional approach

Experience with mechanical and/or low-voltage electrical components will be highly regarded; however, ongoing on-the-job training and technical support will be provided to ensure success in the role.

This is an autonomous position that requires a self-motivated individual with initiative, problem-solving ability, and the capacity to work independently.

Our ideal candidate will be located within Melbourne, preferably in the eastern or northern/western suburbs for travel efficiency to work and client sites; however, applications from candidates across all Melbourne suburbs are welcome.
