- Have reasonable mathematical skills
- Have familiarity with using hand-tools for assembly of equipment
- Want a job that involves a mix of in-office and outdoor technical work
- Be happy to travel for work, occasionally spending time away from home to carry out project work

Some good-to-have but not essential credentials:

- Computer and device networking knowhow
- A relevant tertiary qualification or previous experience in the technology, manufacturing, mechanical or computer networking disciplines

You will be part of a team but will also be required to work independently under the direction of the Team Leader and Engineers.

We offer ongoing training and professional development - on-the-job and formal courses aimed at developing your career. We also promote an open culture where innovation and continuous improvement is encouraged.

At Geotechnics we believe you should love your job and the environment you work in. We offer a social club, family events, team competitions and a well-being allowance among other initiatives to enhance your employee experience.
