Description

• Attend Sydney race meetings (primarily Randwick and Rosehill) as the on-site technician for timing, tracking and weather equipment.
• Set up, monitor and pack down GPS tracking, timing and weather hardware on race day.
• Carry out pre-race checks: battery condition and voltage, tag function, connectivity, sensor and weather station status.
• Diagnose and resolve hardware issues on-course during a meeting, with calm and care under live event pressure.
• Support the race day operators where hardware or equipment is involved.
• Follow site safety procedures and maintain clear service records for each meeting.

• Assemble GPS tags and other on-course electronic equipment in the Frenchs Forest workshop, including soldering, component fitting and final build.
• Test assembled equipment using our Windows-based configuration and testing applications.
• Diagnose faulty units: battery replacement, low-voltage electronics, cabling, connectors and housings.
• Solder, rework and use hand and basic power tools (soldering iron, multimeter, drills, drivers) safely and accurately.
• Keep the workshop and tools tidy, organised and ready for the next build or repair run.

• Prepare equipment kits for upcoming race meetings: charging, configuring, packing and labelling.
• Manage stock of tags, batteries, cables and consumables; flag low stock to the team.
• Help maintain storage areas so equipment is easy to find, easy to track and ready to deploy.
• Support occasional maintenance visits to Sydney racecourses (within roughly two hours of Frenchs Forest) using the company vehicle.

• Certificate III or IV in Electronics and Communications (or a related electronics qualification, TAFE or equivalent), or an apprentice nearing completion. Equivalent hands-on experience in electronics assembly, soldering and repair will also be considered.
• Comfortable using hand tools and basic power tools (drills, drivers, multimeters).
• Confident working with low-voltage electronics and batteries (typically 12V and 24V; no high-voltage / mains work in this role).
• Comfortable using Windows-based software applications to configure and test equipment.
• Methodical, careful approach to testing, repair and documentation.
• Calm and professional in live event environments.
• Available Tuesday to Saturday. Sydney metropolitan race meetings are generally held on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so on-course availability on those days is essential, with flexibility for early starts, late finishes and the occasional public holiday around race meetings.
• Valid Australian driver's licence and ability to drive a company vehicle to Sydney racecourses.
• Reasonable physical ability, lifting and carrying equipment, working outdoors at racecourses in varied weather.

• Experience with GPS, RF, telemetry or wireless devices.
• Soldering and small-scale electronics rework (component-level assembly and repair).
• Experience supporting live events, sports timing or broadcast environments.
• Elevated Work Platform (EWP) ticket or Work Safely at Heights certification.
• Basic networking awareness (routers, switches, cabling).
• Previous experience in racing or another live operational industry.
