Automotive · Darwin, NT, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Trade the red-earth dust of home for the red centre of Australia, but remember that the work is what counts. A workshop in a remote Northern Territory community needs a full-time Motor Mechanic to keep its vehicles running safely, handling servicing, repairs and fault diagnosis with limited supervision.
People from overseas can apply. Where international applicants are suitably qualified, a sponsored visa may be possible, depending on eligibility requirements.
A short, accurate CV in English works best. Show your trade qualification, the types of engines you have repaired and your experience with diagnostic tools. Build a strong mechanic CV with Build AI CV and send it with your application.
