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.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Be a Pioneer: Play a key role in the electric drive transition, supporting cutting-edge technology that’s redefining efficiency and sustainability in mining.
  • 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.

This is more than just a job—it’s a chance to be part of a high-impact project with long-term career potential.
