Diesel Mechanic (or Light Vehicle Mechanic Ready to Step Up)

Full-time, Permanent
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.

If you’re coming from a light vehicle background, you’ll be supported to build your diesel capability at a pace that sets you up to succeed.

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”

 

Why this company?

They’ve been around a long time for a reason - they look after their people.

No ego, no nonsense. Just a good team, steady work, and a business that invests in you for the long haul.
