We’re looking for a Service Manager to support our busy agricultural machinery workshop in Kununurra. You’ll be the right-hand to our mechanics and the engine behind our service team — preparing jobs, solving problems, and making sure everything’s ready to go before the tools hit the floor.
This isn’t a typical spanner-spinning job. It’s about organisation, preparation, and practical support — helping reduce repair times, managing tools and parts, and making sure everything’s set for success.
Kimberley Agricultural Investment (KAI) is one of Australia’s largest and most progressive irrigated farming operations, based in the Ord River Irrigation Area in the East Kimberley. We are seeking an experienced Service Manager to support our busy agricultural machinery workshop, which is also a CaseIH dealership.
With 4,516 hectares of crop planted across 2025, this is forecast to increase to over 6,000 in 2027, and over 9,000 in 2030 with further farms being developed. This expansion will increase the volume of machinery required to develop the land, alongside working the land.
Preparing jobs before they start: parts, tools, manuals, service notes
Supporting mechanics and apprentices during repairs
Researching technical info to speed up diagnostics and get answers fast
Keeping the workshop clean, tidy, and running like clockwork
Helping plan the service schedules and coordinate with the Parts team
Sharing your knowledge, teaching where you can, and lifting the whole team’s game
Required (or willing to obtain):
Background in ag, diesel, or mechanical trades (qualified or hands-on experience)
Solid knowledge of tractors and farm equipment – Case IH experience a bonus
Forklift and HR licence (or willing to get them)
Strong communication and basic computer skills
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, team-based environment
Work with one of Australia’s largest and most forward-thinking irrigated farming businesses.
Live and work in the East Kimberley—an iconic region with a strong community and unique lifestyle.
Be part of a team driving growth, efficiency, and innovation in northern agriculture.
Competitive remuneration package, with opportunities for training and career development.
You’ll be part of a passionate, capable team in one of Australia’s most unique agricultural regions. The workshop is busy, the gear is big, and the standards are high. We back our people and build long-term careers.
