Here’s one for experienced mechanical fitters who are up for a bit more than the usual workshop gig. A spot has opened at HMAS Albatross in Shoalhaven, and it’s a full-time role. You’ll be handling fuel-related assets, both day-to-day maintenance and the unexpected stuff that pops up. It’s a mix of hands-on work and some travel across NSW when needed. You’ll need to be trade qualified, know your way around fixed plant systems, and ideally have worked with fuel or in defence setups before. The pay starts at just over $47 an hour and goes up depending on your level, with tool allowance and super on top. It’s a long-term role with solid stability perfect if you’re after something that’s close to home and has real staying power.
