Electrical Field Service Technician
Visa sponsorship
Trade · Sydney, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Commercial kitchens grind to a halt when key equipment fails, and a Sydney technical service business needs an Electrician / Electrical Field Service Technician to get it running again. The role goes well past routine installs: you investigate why catering and foodservice equipment has broken down, then repair it properly at the customer's site.
Days are a mix of call-outs and scheduled services, testing and commissioning, plus technical support by phone and email and the odd stint in the workshop or warehouse. It is a chance to build specialist experience with a professional service team. Visa sponsorship is available for eligible and suitably qualified applicants. Engineers used to UK commercial call-outs will know the rhythm.
Give your CV a clear list of your trade qualification and licence, the commercial or electro-mechanical equipment you have repaired and your field service history. Write up a Sydney catering equipment technician CV with Build AI CV before you apply.
