About Us

​

Toowoomba Bearings & Hydraulics is a long-standing, locally owned trade business servicing the darling downs and beyond.

​

We supply bearings, hydraulics and industrial components — and we don’t just sell parts. we fix problems.

​

Our hydraulics division includes a fully equipped rebuild workshop and field service vehicles supporting agriculture, mining, construction, earthmoving and industrial customers when downtime isn’t an option.

​

Quality, safety and doing the job properly matter here — because our customers rely on their gear to make a living.

​

About the Role

​

As a hydraulic fitter / technician, you’ll be hands-on repairing, rebuilding and fault-finding hydraulic systems — both in the workshop and out in the field.

​

This role suits someone who enjoys variety: strip-and-assess work, breakdowns, diagnostics, rebuilds and customer problem-solving.

​

You’ll be trusted to work independently, represent the business professionally, and deliver reliable outcomes every time.

• deliver accurate, high-quality repairs with minimal rework

• communicate clearly with customers about faults, solutions and timelines

• maintain clean, safe and organised work areas

• follow all safety procedures, especially around high-pressure systems

​

• ideally holds a fitter trade background (or equivalent experience)

• can work unsupervised and take ownership of jobs

• communicates well with customers and teammates

• takes pride in clean work, correct tolerances and doing it once — properly

​

What You'll Get

​

• competitive salary aligned to skill and experience

• performance and sales-based bonuses

• company service vehicle, phone and laptop

• uniforms supplied
