Job description

All mechanical repairs – Deception Bay QLD

About the Business

We are a proud, family-owned and operated workshop with a strong reputation and an unyielding backlog of work. Unlike large corporate dealerships, we operate with a tight-knit team where everyone pulls their weight. We run a high-volume, rapid-output service centre specialising in complex diagnostics and major mechanical overhauls.

About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled, resilient, and self-motivated Motor Mechanic to join our family business. This position is strictly for an experienced professional who thrives under operational pressure, works fast, and takes pride in technical accuracy. Our workshop is busy, fast-paced, and physically demanding. If you want to be treated like a person rather than a number—but still want a challenging, high-volume workload—you will fit right in.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Execute advanced mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical diagnostics accurately.
• Perform complex engine overhauls, drivetrain repairs, and major component replacements.
• Manage high-volume daily workflows to meet uncompromising customer timeframes.
• Utilise modern scanning hardware and diagnostic software efficiently.
• Maintain flawless quality control and strict safety standards under pressure.

Skills and Experience Required

• Trade Qualification: Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology (or equivalent).
• Proven Track Record: Minimum 1-2 years of post-apprenticeship experience in a busy workshop.
• Diagnostic Expertise: Advanced proficiency with scan tools and electrical fault-finding.
• Equipment: Possession of a comprehensive, professional inventory of hand and power tools.
• Attributes: High physical stamina, absolute accountability, and a team-player attitude.

What We Offer

• Premium Remuneration: Highly competitive hourly rate well above the industry award.
• Family Culture: A supportive, straightforward environment with direct access to the business owners.
• Consistent Overtime: Substantial additional hours available for those looking to maximise earnings.
• Autonomy: Operate with zero micro-management when targets and quality standards are met.
• Job Security: A permanent, full-time position backed by a massive, continuous pipeline of work.
