Heavy Road Transport Mechanics

Automotive · Brisbane QLD, Australia · Full-Time · $68/hr

If heavy transport fleets are your trade, read on. An established operation that is still expanding needs a qualified Heavy-Duty Diesel Mechanic with pride in reliable equipment, sharp fault diagnosis and solid mechanical workmanship.

The fleet is modern heavy road transport equipment, and the work is done in a purpose-built workshop. What you do will directly affect fleet reliability, downtime and whether vehicles stay safe and operational.
