Job description

ChapterSix Professional Services Pty Ltd - Brendale QLD

Trailer Assembly Technician | Brendale QLD | Permanent | 4-Day Week

Our client is a custom trailer manufacturer building for commercial and government clients across utilities, defence, and local councils. Every build is different, and every unit meets vehicle manufacturer standards for safety, compliance, and finish. This is skilled custom work, not repetitive production line assembly.

You will take a trailer from bare chassis through to handover and put your name on it. Axles, suspension, braking, wiring, mechanical fit-out and the final quality check, all built from drawings and job sheets.

What is on offer

A four-day week on 10-hour days, with a long weekend every single week

Permanent full-time, workshop-based, no travel and no FIFO

Custom builds rather than repetitive line work, so no two days are the same

A steady pipeline of work in a growing operation investing in its workshop and people

A clean workshop, straightforward leadership and a team where people stay

Tool purchase available through salary sacrifice if you need to build up your kit

What you will bring

A background in vehicle body building, trailer or truck manufacture, fitting and turning, auto electrical or diesel fitting

Hands-on mechanical assembly: fitting axles and suspension, setting up and calibrating brakes, working to torque specifications and alignment

Installation and testing of trailer electrical systems including 7 pin wiring, lighting circuits, brake controllers and breakaway systems

Confident reading technical drawings, wiring diagrams, job sheets and custom build plans

The ability to carry out minor welding and fabrication

Strong hand, power, torque and measuring tool skills

Pride in your workmanship, common sense, and the initiative to ask rather than guess

Comfort with priorities that shift, because custom work rarely runs to a straight line

Certificate III in Automotive or a relevant mechanical trade, hydraulic installation experience, and a forklift licence.
