Why Mader Group?

We’re not just another contractor. We’re a crew built by mechanics, for mechanics—no corporate fluff—just great gear, solid pay, and teammates who’ve got your back.

This position primarily operates on a Fly-In Fly-Out (FIFO) 2 weeks on 1 week off schedule. Accommodations are provided during on-site stays, ensuring a comfortable environment while you focus on the job.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Swapping out big stuff like engines, trannies, and diffs
  • Maintaining hydraulic systems and keeping all the pistons, rams, and pumps happy
  • Taking equipment apart and putting it back together—with style
  • Fixing all the mechanical and electrical gremlins
  • Working on the usual heavy hitters—CAT, Komatsu, Liebherr, Sandvik, and more
  • Keeping the gear running and making sure production never skips a beat

Schedule & Perks:

Ready to hustle, earn big, and still enjoy your time off?

  • For FIFO rotations: 2 weeks on / 1 week off – work hard, reset, and come back ready to crush it again
  • For FIFO life: flights, housing, and meals are on us – no stress
  • Drive a fully kitted-out field service truck with all the tools and tech you need

What We Need From You:

  • 4+ years fixing up mining gear (CAT, Komatsu, Hitachi, Liebherr... you know the gang)
  • Experience with rebuilds, overhauls, and serious wrench-turning
  • Solid hydraulics experience—pumps, rams, hoses, valves, the whole kit
  • Welding skills that won’t burn the shop down (please)
  • You speak fluent CAT SIS & ET
  • Your driver’s license is as clean as your tool kit
  • You’re good to go with a drug screen and background check
  • Solid communication, strong work ethic, and a no-nonsense attitude

What You’ll Get:

  • $40-55/hr, based on experience
  • Referral bonus for each buddy you bring onboard
  • Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match
  • Paid travel, housing, and meals for FIFO projects
  • Career progression into lead roles or specialized projects – you've got a future here
  • Management that knows what it’s like—because we’ve done it too
