As an RFA (Campervan Maintenance Technician), you will be part of our Hobart servicing team; your primary responsibility is to ensure our campervans are always well-maintained and in the best possible condition.
• Depending on the depot, you will also take part in rental operations. This role is critical to keeping our fleet ready for the road, enabling our customers to embark on unforgettable journeys. If you enjoy hands-on repair work, like solving problems, having immediate impact on objectives, and are motivated to be part of a mission-driven team, we invite you to bring your expertise to our teams.

Responsibilities

• Conduct systematic inspections of vehicles, and diagnose issues across interior, appliance and exterior systems.
• Perform maintenance and repairs on campervans and motorhomes, including: minor exterior parts replacement (lightbulbs, windows, side mirrors); campervan spare-parts substitution and repairs; campervan appliance troubleshooting and repairs.
• Diagnose the cause of a fault before replacing parts, and decide - and clearly communicate - when a vehicle is genuinely ready to rent.
• Own your repair list from start to finish, adjusting it as urgent jobs come in without losing track of what was set aside.
• Keep all vehicle records, repair notes and parts consumption up to date in the fleet management system, every time.
• Keep tools, equipment and the work bay clean and organised
• Keep the spare-parts inventory organised - completing stock counts, and the reception and consumption of spare parts.
• Receive and collect shipments and supplies, organise them in storage areas, and register item consumption and new orders.

• Depending on location, you will also be an active part of daily depot operations:
• Preparation of vehicles and equipment for customers
• Assist with handling incoming reservations, welcoming guests and taking care of check-ins and check-outs
• Maintain depot equipment, extras and consumables stored at the depot

• Confident with hand and power tools;
• Comfortable working from a repair list and adjusting your day as jobs come in.
