Pump Mechanic - Field Service

About us

Coates is proudly Australian owned and has a long history of supporting customers to deliver major projects. We provide end-to-end solutions across five key areas: Equipment Hire, Engineering Solutions, Industrial Solutions, Power & HVAC, and Training.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced mechanic who thrives working independently, solving problems in the field, and supporting critical operations across Western Australia's Goldfields.

Based at our Kalgoorlie branch, you'll be trusted to work autonomously across mine sites and remote customer locations, maintaining and repairing a diverse fleet of equipment. You'll become the person customers rely on to keep essential pumping and power equipment operating safely and efficiently.

If you're the type of mechanic who enjoys variety, responsibility, and the freedom that comes with field service work, we'd like to hear from you.

• Strong fault-finding, diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
