What drives us forward is a mindset of always improving — observing how work happens, identifying what creates value, and removing what gets in the way. We constantly look for smarter, simpler, and safer ways of operating. If you thrive in environments where people value learning and are committed to continuously improve daily operations, join us and be apart of our journey.

  • Repair and refurbish mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic components
  • Complete work orders, confirmation slips, and maintenance records accurately
  • Follow HSSE procedures, safe working practices, and housekeeping standards
  • Work shifts and standby duties to support 24‑hour terminal operations

What We Are Looking For:

  • Continuous improvement mindset: curiosity about equipment reliability and commitment to safe, quality workmanship
  • HND, ND, Trade Test, or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
  • 3–5 years’ experience as a mechanic in ports, mining, steel, or heavy manufacturing environments
  • Experience working on Liebherr RTGs or MHCs is an advantage
