Parts Coordinator | Katherine | NT

$60,000 - $85,000 yearly

Job Description

We’ve grown! What was once our combined Parts & Service Coordinator role has now been split into two dedicated positions — and we’re looking for a highly organised and motivated Parts Coordinator to join our team in Katherine, NT.

This role isn’t about having a mechanical background — it’s about keeping our business running smoothly with your administration skills, problem-solving ability, and sharp attention to detail. You’ll be the one making sure the right parts are in the right place at the right time, supporting both our mechanics and our customers.

As our Parts Coordinator, you’ll take ownership of:

  • Sourcing, ordering, and tracking parts and inventory

  • Coordinating with suppliers, customers, and our team to keep jobs moving

  • Handling freight, checking accuracy of deliveries, and maintaining records

  • Providing excellent customer service as a key point of contact

  • Keeping processes tidy, efficient, and well-documented

You don’t need to know how to rebuild an engine — but you do need to be confident juggling multiple priorities, love solving problems, and have the initiative to spot what needs doing before anyone asks.

A rural background or experience in the NT pastoral sector will help you thrive in this role, but it isn’t essential. What matters most is your reliability, organisation, and ability to communicate clearly with people at all levels.

At Station Mechanical Solutions, we provide mechanical support to cattle stations and commercial clients across the Top End. Our team is tight-knit, practical, and passionate about delivering quality results. We value honesty, teamwork, and efficiency — and we support our people with training, flexibility, and a positive working environment.

This is a full-time permanent role, Monday to Friday, 8am–5pm. No weekends or public holidays.

We believe in rewarding people for the value they bring. Let’s talk about your skills and a fair remuneration package when we meet at interview stage.

Preferred start date: February 2026

Ready to bring your skills to a growing business and be part of a team that really values what you do?
