Hydraulic Fitter

A Hydraulic Fitter produces and fits parts for hydraulic equipment. You’ll use machinery to fabricate metal parts and ensure they meet the exact specifications of technical drawings. Hydraulic Fitters also place new parts into equipment and ensure the machinery is working effectively. You might create parts for a range of mobile or fixed hydraulic equipment.

Hydraulic Fitters may work in a range of industries from mining and construction to agriculture and industrial factories. You’ll need to be a good problem solver and have excellent attention to detail. It’s important that you can follow directions and work as part of a larger team.
