Rivermark Viveash,WA
Summary
Dedicated and highly motivated Dual-Trade Service Technician (Electrotechnology / Refrigeration & Air Conditioning) with extensive hands-on experience in installation, preventative maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs, and emergency call-outs on commercial, industrial, and mining site HVAC&R systems. Based in Perth, Western Australia, I thrive in demanding FIFO environments, consistently committing to long hours, regular on-call duties, extended site stays, and the challenges of remote operations in extreme conditions.
Fully qualified with current ARCtick Refrigerant Handling Licence, electrical qualifications, and a strong safety focus, I specialise in maintaining critical infrastructure — including split systems, ducted units, packaged plants, VSD-controlled cooling, and substation/switchroom environmental controls — to ensure uninterrupted operations and zero production downtime.
I am passionate about both trades, continuously upskilling to stay at the forefront of industry standards, technologies, and best practices. I approach every task with 100% dedication until completion, whether working autonomously on complex breakdowns or collaboratively within multi-disciplinary teams. I embrace challenges, prioritise safety and compliance (including AS/NZS standards, mine-site isolation procedures, JSEA/SWMS, and permit systems), and deliver reliable, high-quality outcomes under pressure.
Seeking a FIFO role on a Pilbara or WA mining operation where I can leverage my technical expertise, strong work ethic, and enthusiasm for remote-site work to contribute to site reliability, team success, and operational excellence.
