If you’re a skilled Line Borer who takes pride in precision work, wants top‑tier equipment, and values steady, long‑term employment — this role is worth a closer look.

WesTrac is one of the world’s largest authorised Caterpillar dealers, and we’re growing our Field Service Line Boring team based out of Tomago NSW, supporting both workshop and site-based machining work.

You’ll be backed by a strong safety culture, modern tooling, and a business that genuinely invests in its trades.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Top rates for the right experience – up to $56.55/hr + OT at $84.83/hr
• Permanent, full-time work with consistent hours
• Brand-new line boring trucks fitted with industry-leading equipment
• Mix of field service and high-volume workshop boring
• Work on large Caterpillar and heavy mobile equipment
• Strong team culture with experienced trades around you
• Clear pathways for progression within Australia’s largest CAT dealership

The Work You’ll Be Doing

This is hands-on, technical line boring work — not a mass-production role.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Onsite and workshop line boring and repairs
• Operating line boring equipment and ID welders (Hoffman, Triangle)
• Reading and working from engineering drawings and tolerances
• Precision machining to restore critical component alignment
• Problem-solving with workshop leaders and fellow trades
• Maintaining a high safety standard at all times
• Delivering quality workmanship that meets time and customer expectations

Roster & Hours

• Monday to Friday - 48-hour week
  • EARLY FINISH ON FRIDAYS!
• Roster: 5 Days ON 2 Off X 2, then 5 Nights on 2 Off X 2

What We’re Looking For

You’re a trade-qualified machinist or fitter who knows line boring and takes pride in doing the job right.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Certificate III in Engineering – Mechanical Trade with post-trade experience in line boring.
• Proven post-trade line boring experience
• Experience in heavy equipment, mining or earthmoving
• Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team
• Strong safety mindset and reliability
• MR licence (desirable, or willingness to obtain)
• CAT equipment experience (highly regarded, not essential)
• A practical, no‑nonsense approach and “get it done properly” attitude

Why Join WesTrac?

• 12 weeks paid parental leave + income protection
• Strong job security with long‑term career pathways
• Flexitime, RDOs & purchased leave (up to 5 weeks p.a.)
• Training & career progression via the WesTrac Institute
• Fitness Passport (family included) + health & wellbeing support
• 600+ retail, travel & lifestyle discounts + CAT tool discounts
• Refer a mate & earn up to $3,000
• Free parking, onsite café & extra perks at select sites
• Relocation assistance for eligible candidates

We invest heavily in your development, offering access to our in‑house RTO(50737), dedicated learning pathways, and hands‑on experience with the latest Cat® technology and future‑focused capabilities. As one of the world’s largest authorised Cat® dealers, you’ll be part of an industry leader shaping what’s next in mining and construction.
