The full capability.
Drillspec Mechanical runs four specialist divisions: surface drill, exploration, underground and digger, and can supply fitters to each. Breakdown support, shutdowns, rostered labour and field service — plus the five capability extensions behind them. All of it owner-led, across the Goldfields and Pilbara.
Four core offerings, tailored to your operation.
Breakdown Support
Drillspec provides fast breakdown response from a crew built for it. The majority of our mechanics work in dedicated breakdown roles, bringing years of technical and field experience to every callout. Rapid mobilisation and minimal downtime — getting your drills back to making metres.
Case study: From first call to spinning again — under 48 hours. →Rostered Labour
Drillspec provides long-term rostered placements for clients running ongoing campaigns, plus short-term cover and shutdown-only fitters. Skilled, mine-site-ready fitters and technicians embedded into your operation under your roster, your KPIs. Fitters arrive trade qualified, inducted and cleared.

Drillspec provides end-to-end mechanical support for excavators and earthmoving gear — peak performance, minimum downtime. Fully stocked field-service vehicles keep your fleet running year-round.
Request a digger fitter →Built on three things you can't fake.
Safety
Non-negotiable. Built into how we hire, train, and deploy — and aligned to tier-one mining standards on every site.
Core
Drilling built Drillspec. Decades of hands-on experience sit behind every crew, and form the foundation of our wider mechanical capability.
Integrity
We do what we say we will do. The commitments made in the office are the commitments delivered on the tools.
Quality over quantity.
Anyone can fill a roster. We'd rather send three tradies who know the job than ten who don't. Every crew member is hand-picked, ticketed, and backed by directors who lead from the front.
