5.0 on Google · Read our reviewsAn extra mechanic when your crew needs one
Maintenance crews in the Pilbara run lean. A shutdown lands, someone goes on leave, a project ramps up, or the backlog of jobs keeps growing. Fortified Heavy Equipment Repairs supplies a heavy diesel mechanic on a roster, so you get experienced hands on the tools without taking on another full-time employee.
We’re based in Karratha and work across the Pilbara, from the West Pilbara towns to Port Hedland, Pannawonica, Onslow, Tom Price, Paraburdoo and Newman. We’ve spent plenty of time on mine sites next to haul trucks, loaders, dozers and big excavators, so we know how site maintenance works.
What we can help with
| Work type | What it looks like |

| Shutdowns | Extra hands for planned shutdowns and major component work, on day or night shift |
| Maintenance crews | Filling a gap on your roster: leave cover, backlog, or a busy period |
| Project work | A mechanic for the life of a civil, construction or mining project |
| Field servicing | Servicing and repairs on mobile plant out in the field, not just in the workshop |

Rostered work or a call-out?
If one machine has stopped and you need it fixed, that’s a call-out: see mobile heavy equipment repairs. If you need a mechanic working with your crew for days or weeks at a time, that’s rostered labour hire.
