Maintenance & Workshop Technician

Hands-On Repairs, Power Tools & Project Support

Industry Team of the Year 2025

About the Role

We are currently seeking a practical, hands-on Maintenance & Workshop Technician to join our Brisbane Operations Team.

This role supports the repair, maintenance and preparation of equipment used across major exhibitions, conferences and events. Working within our workshop and warehouse environment, you'll help ensure our equipment is maintained to a high standard and ready for upcoming projects.

This is a role for someone who enjoys working with their hands, takes pride in workmanship, stays organised and can be relied upon to see tasks through to completion. The position is based around general maintenance, repairs and internal project support rather than specialised fabrication work.

For larger or more complex fabrication requirements, we work closely with specialist fabricators and contractors. Your role will focus on practical repairs, modifications, preventative maintenance and workshop support.
