Diesel Motor Mechanic
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Dubbo, NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $85,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Heavy commercial vehicles keep an established road transport company busy, and it needs a diesel motor mechanic with experience for a permanent, full-time workshop post in regional New South Wales. The base is Dubbo, or a second workshop in the Riverina that rotates its roster to Dubbo.
The fleet includes prime movers, trailers and bulk freight equipment. You would handle demanding fault diagnosis, repairs and planned maintenance so downtime stays low and NHVR, chain of responsibility and WHS requirements are met. Suitably qualified candidates can receive visa sponsorship (subclass 482), and those already holding a valid visa in Australia are preferred. The employment criteria cover a licence, a medical check and drug and alcohol testing.
Applying from Kampala or Entebbe? A heavy diesel CV should show truck and trailer systems you have repaired, diagnostic software used and any DIT certificate held. Use Build AI CV to put together a diesel mechanic CV for road transport in a clear layout.
