Job description

Work-Life Balance. Stability. A Workshop That Values You.

We know that work is only one part of life. That's why we've built a workshop where you can enjoy steady, meaningful work without the constant pressure that's common in many heavy vehicle repair environments.

At Christians Bus Company, you'll work on maintaining our own fleet, with predictable workloads and a supportive team. We understand that appointments, family commitments and important events come up, and where operationally possible, we'll work with you to accommodate them.

If you're looking for a role where you can do quality mechanical work, head home at the end of the day, and have a better balance between work and life, we'd love to hear from you.

Behind every safe and dependable journey is a well-maintained bus—and a skilled Diesel Mechanic who takes pride in keeping our fleet operating at its best.

The Role

We're seeking a qualified Mechanic to join our Bacchus Marsh workshop.

You'll be responsible for servicing, maintaining and repairing our fleet of buses in a well-equipped workshop alongside an experienced and supportive team.

• Servicing, diagnosing and repairing our fleet of buses
• Completing preventative maintenance and inspections
• Working collaboratively with a supportive workshop team
• Maintaining high safety and quality standards
• Ordering parts and assisting with workshop organisation
• Keeping accurate maintenance records

What We’re Looking For

If you have solid mechanical experience, enjoy problem-solving and take pride in quality workmanship, we’d love to hear from you. A strong focus on safety, reliability and teamwork is essential.

• A qualified Heavy Vehicle or Light Vehicle Mechanic with a desire to upskill and expand your experience in the bus and transport industry
• Strong mechanical knowledge and previous hands-on workshop experience
• Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
• A commitment to safety, reliability and quality workmanship
• A positive attitude and the ability to work effectively as part of a team
• A willingness to learn new systems, technologies and heavy cehicle diagnostics

Why Join Christians?

At Christians, we know that a great workplace is about more than just the job.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Excellent work-life balance with stable, predictable hours.
• 5 weeks annual leave

• A well-equipped workshop with a modern fleet.
• Ongoing training and development opportunities.
• Long-term job security with a company that has been serving regional Victoria for over 40 years.
