WE’RE HIRING – JOIN OUR TEAM

ST Engineering | Hardwood Forest Products | HFP Attachments

We’re looking for two experienced tradespeople to join our team at our workshop in Kilsyth, Victoria:

🔧 Mechanic
🔥 Boilermaker / Welder

If you’re looking for a role with genuine variety, where you’re not doing the same job day in, day out, we’d like to hear from you.

Across our three businesses, our team works on everything from specialist vehicles and 4WDs through to heavy vehicles, earthmoving machinery, hydraulics, fabrication, Australian-made attachments, guarding, equipment fitment, repairs, modifications and custom engineering projects.

BOILERMAKER / WELDER

We’re looking for an experienced Boilermaker/Welder with strong fabrication and welding skills who takes pride in producing quality work.

The role includes a broad range of work across:

✔ Custom fabrication and modifications
✔ Excavator and earthmoving attachments
✔ Heavy vehicle engineering
✔ Machinery and equipment repairs
✔ Guarding and specialist fabrication
✔ One-off and custom engineering projects

If you enjoy fabrication but don't want to spend every day doing the same repetitive production work, this could be a great fit.

MECHANIC

We’re looking for an experienced Mechanic who enjoys fault finding, problem solving and hands-on mechanical work.

This isn't a role where you'll be servicing the same vehicles every day. Our workshop handles a broad mix of work, including:

✔ Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons
✔ Government and specialist vehicle projects
✔ Fleet vehicle modifications and fit-outs
✔ Heavy vehicles
✔ Earthmoving machinery and equipment
✔ Hydraulic systems and equipment
✔ Attachment installation and fitment
✔ Mechanical repairs and modifications
✔ Custom and specialist engineering projects

Experience or knowledge of hydraulic systems would be a strong advantage, but is not essential.

We're looking for someone with solid mechanical ability who can think through a job, fault-find and work across different types of vehicles and equipment.

THE POSITIONS

✔ Full-time hours, commencing on a casual basis
✔ Opportunity to move to permanent full-time following a successful trial period
✔ Stable, ongoing work for the right people
✔ Varied and interesting work
✔ Well-equipped workshop in Kilsyth
✔ Established Australian family-owned business
✔ Work across three diverse areas of the business
✔ A practical and experienced team
✔ Opportunity to use and expand your trade skills

Most importantly, we’re looking for people who are reliable, capable, practical and take genuine pride in their workmanship.

If you’re an experienced Mechanic or Boilermaker/Welder considering your next move, get in touch for a confidential chat.
