Mechanic
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Perth, WA, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Aviation operations in Western Australia depend on vehicles and ground equipment that never let the crew down, and the maintenance team behind them wants a qualified Mechanic. You would look after a fleet plus Ground Support Equipment (GSE), so the work is more varied than a standard garage, with plenty of fault diagnosis and urgent call-outs.
Sponsorship is available for suitable overseas candidates who meet the required trade and employment criteria, and those needing it may be considered on qualifications, experience and overall suitability.
For a mechanic, the CV should name the trade qualification, the machines you have repaired and your licence class. Build AI CV makes it easy to set that out cleanly, with diesel, hydraulic and welding strengths placed up top.
