Most mechanic ads say the same thing.“Dynamic team, great culture, room to grow.”
You’ve heard it all before.

Here’s the simple version:
At Blacks Transport, we run our own fleet. We want a good Diesel Mechanic who wants to do the job properly, be listened to, and go home feeling like the day was worth it.

If you like fixing things right the first time, not cutting corners, and having a genuine say in how the gear is looked after, this will make sense to you.

The role

We are currently seeking a 3rd or 4th year apprentice heavy diesel mechanic to work in our on-site workshop based in Par Ridge.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Servicing and maintaining trucks and trailers (scheduled and unscheduled work)
• Diagnosing faults – electrical, mechanical, braking, suspension
• Carrying out repairs to a safe, professional standard
• Completing inspection reports and job cards accurately
• Helping keep the workshop safe, tidy and organised
• Working with operations when something’s urgent – without being pushed to do it unsafe or half-done

You won’t be dealing with random retail jobs at a counter all day. It’s our gear, our standards, your trade.

Who you are

We’re looking for someone who:

• Is a 3rd or 4th year apprentice, can be close to finishing
• Has solid experience as a diesel mechanic on trucks and/or trailers
• Understands the importance of WHS and fatigue management in transport
• Has good attention to detail – the kind that picks up an issue before it turns into a breakdown
• Can work in a small team, share information, and speak up if something doesn’t look right
• Takes pride in their work and wants to be taken seriously as a tradesperson

If you’re not into drama, but youareinto doing the job properly – that’s the kind of person we’re keen to meet.

What you’ll get

• A full-time role working directly on a growing, modern fleet
• A workshop environment where your opinion actually matters
• Direct communication – no fluffy slogans, just honest conversations
• A company that understands downtime, safety and maintenance are not “nice to haves”
• The stability of a long-established, Queensland-owned transport business

We’re not perfect, and we won’t pretend to be. But we are serious about looking after our people and our equipment, and we’re trying to do things the right way.
