Field Supervisor

At Konecranes, we believe that great customer experience is built on the people behind the Konecranes name. Everything we do, we do with passion and drive. We believe diversity drives business success and is the foundation for our growth. We welcome different backgrounds and skills that enrich our community and we promote a place where we can ALL be ourselves. This is what makes Konecranes a unique place to work.

We are seeking an experienced Field Supervisor - Port Solutions to lead and support crane service operations across key customer sites in Sydney, NSW.

• Supervising, mentoring, and supporting technicians on site
• Ensuring accurate reporting, safety reviews, and job documentation
• Working closely with customers, planners, and internal support teams
• Awareness of ISO 14001 & 45001 Standards

Why This Role Stands Out

• True field leadership role with hands-on technical involvement
• Exposure to complex crane systems and major modernisation projects
• Opportunity to mentor technicians and lead project delivery
• Strong variety across inspections, breakdowns, upgrades, and commissioning
• Key role in ensuring safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction

• Electrical Licence or Mechanical Trade Qualification (essential)

• Current and valid Driver Licence
• Working at Heights competency
• Elevated Work Platform (EWP) ticket preferred
• Strong understanding of relevant Australian/NZ Standards
• Proven fault-finding and troubleshooting capability

• To work with an extremely talented and passionate team of Technicians/ Specialists, locally, nationally and globally that you can tap into at any time to get support.
• Support and encouragement to develop your skills with local and global training opportunities available.
• A chance to work with world leading technology and processes that support you in the work you do.

Most of all though, you will have an opportunity to join a company that puts safety first, so you can relax, roll up your sleeves and do what you do best, knowing that we've got the same priorities as you.

Don't delay - join us. The view's pretty good from up here!
