About the role

A road transport operator in regional New South Wales needs a skilled Diesel Motor Mechanic to strengthen its heavy vehicle workshop. The position is permanent and full-time, at the Dubbo workshop or at a second Riverina site whose roster rotates through Dubbo. What the business needs is a tradesperson who can diagnose difficult faults across prime movers, trailers and bulk freight units, carry out repairs and planned servicing, and keep the fleet compliant with NHVR, chain of responsibility and WHS requirements while holding downtime down.

The employer offers subclass 482 visa sponsorship to suitably qualified candidates and gives preference to people who currently hold a valid visa in Australia; this is a preference, not a requirement. Hiring also depends on a licence, a medical and a drug and alcohol test.

Employers reviewing workshop applicants look for evidence quickly, so put your heavy vehicle qualification, diagnostic tools and fleet experience near the top of your CV.

• Carry out major component rebuilds and any fabrication the workshop needs


• Uphold NHVR compliance and produce detailed records for audits


• Work to workshop safety rules while managing work orders in fleet management software


• Provide roadside support


• Help train drivers in vehicle checks and defect reporting

Requirements & eligibility

• A minimum of 2 years as a heavy diesel mechanic, preferably gained in road transport


• A qualification in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology


• NHVR standards and bulk freight equipment experience, which is desirable


• Proficient with diagnostic software and knowledgeable about petrol and diesel engines


• Able to pass a medical and a drug and alcohol test
