Careers
Join the team
We're always looking for good people. If you're a skilled tradesperson or engineer who wants to work on interesting problems in industrial automation, we'd like to hear from you.
Why Deftec
Work that matters
Deftec delivers electrical, automation, and communications solutions for Australia's mining, utilities, and heavy industry sectors. Our projects keep critical infrastructure running — from underground mining control systems to water treatment SCADA networks.
We're a tight-knit team that values quality work, safety, and looking out for each other. You'll work alongside experienced engineers and tradespeople on varied, hands-on projects across Queensland and NSW.
What we offer
A good place to build your career
Varied work
No two projects are the same. PLC programming one week, structured cabling the next, SCADA commissioning after that.
Development
We invest in our people — vendor training, certifications, and mentoring from senior engineers who've done the hard yards.
Good gear
Proper tools, well-maintained vehicles, and the equipment you need to do the job right.
Safety culture
Safety isn't a tick-box exercise here. We look out for each other and take it seriously every day.
Team culture
We sponsor local sport, support mental health initiatives, and actually enjoy working together.
Multiple locations
Workshops in Mackay, Brisbane, and Newcastle — with project work across Queensland and NSW.
