Job description

Job reference: 34002

At EmployMe Solutions, we’re not just about filling jobs – we’re about matching skilled professionals with roles where they can thrive. If you’re a Truck Technician looking for a workshop that values your time, talent, and torque-wrench technique, we need to talk.

About the Role

You’ll be spinning spanners and solving problems across a wide range of commercial vehicles - from routine servicing and COF repairs to fault diagnostics, breakdowns, and major overhauls. You’ll work in a clean, professional, and well-equipped workshop with all tools of the trade supplied (so no more bringing your entire garage from home). Whether you’re chasing bigger gearboxes, better tech, or just want to work with people who genuinely care - this role has it all.

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Diesel Technician or Heavy Automotive Mechanic (newly qualified technicians welcome to apply)
• Experience in truck servicing, maintenance, and repairs
• Diagnostic skills
• Team attitude, good communication, and a sense of humour wouldn’t go amiss
• COF certification would be a bonus – or willingness to get it
• Full NZ driver’s licence (Class 2+? Even better)

What’s in it for You

• Top hourly rate + overtime and on call allowances – get paid what you’re worth
• Supportive, easygoing managers who’ve walked the workshop floor themselves
• A fully equipped, professional workshop with everything you need on-site
• Career progression that’s the real deal – training, internal moves, leadership pathways
• A team culture where you’ll feel like part of the family, not a number

Why Wellington?

It’s not just the capital - it’s a mechanic’s dream. No soul-crushing traffic, ocean views on your smoko break, and enough good coffee to keep any tradie fuelled through the week. Whether you're into fishing, footy, or just want to live somewhere that’s not Auckland (we get it), Wellington delivers the goods.
