Success Guide
To stand out for this fitter role, make your CV work for you. The ad specifically asks you to list the machines you have worked on, so create a clear section at the top of your CV showing your TMM experience with machine names and how many years you spent on each. Mention your trade test certificate and highlight any hydraulics and fault finding work you have done.
Since this is a mining environment, they will check that you are medically fit. Be ready to discuss safety and how you handle breakdowns under pressure.
