Field And Workshop Technician

Fulcrum3D Field Technician and Workshop Hand

Intro:
Fulcrum3D is an innovative Australian technology company providing the renewable energy industry with wind and solar measurement, monitoring and forecasting technology. Fulcrum 3D (www.fulcrum3d.com) is a growing company with excellent opportunities for career progression.

They are currently seeking a Field Technician and Workshop Hand for field installation and maintenance and to assist in the manufacture, installation and commissioning of electro-mechanical equipment (Fulcrum3D Sodar, Fulcrum3D CloudCAM and Fulcrum3D monitoring systems). General workshop, assembly or fabrication experience is essential, and a trade certificate or qualification is beneficial.

The role requires NSW and interstate travel and we expect that, for the right person, it would involve overnight trips on an average of 2 to 3 days a week installing and maintaining wind and solar power monitoring equipment in rural areas and/or on wind and solar farms. It is a fulltime role so the remaining time would be as a workshop hand in our Artarmon workshop.

The travel component is significant and is to some remote (and often beautiful) parts of Australia. Relevant training will be provided but you would need to be comfortable with driving long distances and towing a trailer.

All expenses reimbursed.
