About Us

At Komatsu Australia you’ll be part of an inclusive culture where all our people thrive, reflected in our purpose: creating value together. We encourage people with diverse backgrounds to apply for this role.

The Opportunity

Are you an experienced Heavy Diesel Mechanic or Plant Mechanic who enjoys getting out in the field, solving problems and keeping equipment moving?

Komatsu Australia is looking for a skilled Field Service Technician to join our Newman team in the heart of the Pilbara.

What's the role all about?

As a Field Service Technician, you'll be responsible for diagnosing, maintaining and repairing Komatsu equipment in the field.

No two days will be the same. You'll work across a variety of technical challenges, from fault finding and repairs through to supporting major equipment maintenance activities.

You'll have the opportunity to use your technical expertise, work independently and collaborate with experienced technicians, service supervisors and technical support teams.

What you'll be doing

• Carrying out diagnostics, maintenance and repairs on Komatsu equipment.
• Troubleshooting mechanical and equipment-related faults using technical manuals, schematics and diagnostic tools.
• Testing and adjusting machine operating and monitoring systems.
• Supporting and coordinating major equipment maintenance activities in the field.
• Preparing accurate service reports, technical findings and maintenance documentation.
• Working closely with customers and internal teams to resolve technical issues and minimise downtime.
• Sharing your knowledge and providing technical guidance to less experienced technicians.
• Maintaining high safety, quality and workmanship standards across all activities.
