Truck Mechanic
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Brisbane, QLD, Australia · Full-Time · Discussed at interview · Visa: Employer sponsored
Queensland's trucking sector needs skilled hands, and a Brisbane heavy vehicle workshop is growing its crew. It wants Heavy Vehicle Mechanics with a proven history on the tools across diagnostics, servicing, repairs, rebuilds and the occasional roadside breakdown, all done properly.
Sponsorship available for eligible overseas candidates, so mechanics based outside Australia are not ruled out. Qualifications and work history will need to be backed by documents.
When you build a mechanic CV with Build AI CV, list the makes and systems you have handled and any tickets. A neat record of rebuilds and fault-finding says more than a long job title.
Key Responsibilities
- Track down faults in heavy commercial vehicles and the systems fitted to them
- Deliver scheduled servicing and preventative maintenance
- Repair mechanical faults, replace components and complete rebuilds in line with manufacturer specifications
- Road-check and inspect each vehicle after repair
- Resolve mechanical problems quickly and without waste
- Complete job cards and workshop records correctly
- Attend breakdowns at customer sites or elsewhere, and share the workshop's on-call roster
- Hold safety, workmanship and technical accuracy to a high standard
- Work as part of the technician group, and hand practical know-how to developing apprentices
- Update customers professionally on finished work
