PLANT MECHANIC – ELECTRIC DRIVE OFF HIGHWAY TRUCKS

Are you ready to be part of a groundbreaking project that’s shaping the future of mining? WesTrac is on the lookout for experienced Plant Mechanics to support the commissioning and ongoing maintenance of 794AC Electric Drive Off Highway Trucks—the largest fleet of Caterpillar Electric Drive Trucks in NSW.

• Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a consistent location close to town, with no long commutes or fly-in-fly-out arrangements.
• Team Culture: Join a supportive, skilled team that values safety, innovation, and collaboration. Be a part of an onsite support team at a major Hunter Valley mine site—just 15 minutes from Singleton—where you’ll ensure machine reliability and peak performance.
