Dunedin, Otago
#5455
If you’re a Light Vehicle Mechanic thinking about stepping into diesel - but don’t want to be thrown in the deep end - this is your chance.
Or, if you’re already in diesel and tired of weekend work, dealership pressure, or feeling like just another number… keep reading.
What’s in it for you?
- Monday–Friday only – get your weekends back
- Paid overtime (time + ½) + on-call allowances
- Proper training & support if you’re moving from light to diesel
- Medical + Life Insurance + boosted KiwiSaver
- Long-term career pathway with a company that actually promotes from within
The Role
You’ll be working in a well-established, down-to-earth workshop where the focus is on doing the job properly - not rushing jobs out the door.

Day-to-day, you’ll:
- Service and repair diesel vehicles
- Diagnose faults and carry out quality repairs
- Be part of a shared on-call roster (with extra pay)
- Work alongside a solid team who’ve got each other’s backs
What we’re looking for
- Trade qualified mechanic (diesel or light vehicle)
- Keen to grow your skills and take the next step
- Reliable, team-focused, and takes pride in your work
- Someone who wants more than “just a job”
