Atlantic Rentals hires, sells and services elevated work platforms (EWPs) to construction, infrastructure and maintenance customers from depots at Sydney NSW. A large part of the hire fleet is truck-mounted, and the business also runs its own utes for deliveries, service call-outs and staff travel.

The Service Technician keeps those vehicles safe, roadworthy and on hire. The role carries out trade-level servicing, diagnosis and repair of the light trucks that carry the truck-mounted EWPs and of the company's support vehicles, both in the workshop and at customer sites. Downtime on a hire truck is lost revenue and a missed customer job, so fast, accurate fault-finding is the core of the position.
