About the Role

On behalf of our client – a specialist 4WD and off-road workshop that stocks parts for virtually every make and model – we are seeking an experienced Motor Mechanic (General). This role focuses on diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining a wide range of vehicles, with a strong emphasis on 4WD systems, heavy-duty suspension, driveline components, and engine performance. You will work in a well-equipped shop that handles everything from routine servicing to complex mechanical and electrical fault-finding on modern and classic 4x4s.

Key Responsibilities

Detect and diagnose mechanical and electrical faults in engines, transmissions, steering, and 4WD-specific systems (e.g., transfer cases, differentials, locking hubs) using diagnostic computers and manual test equipment.
Dismantle and remove engine assemblies, transmissions, steering mechanisms, and suspension components; inspect parts for wear or damage and refer to service manuals to determine repair or replacement needs.
Repair or replace worn or defective parts – including clutches, brakes, CV joints, and turbochargers – and reassemble mechanical components to manufacturer specifications.
Perform scheduled maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements, lubrications, and engine tune-ups to ensure smooth running and compliance with emission regulations.
Test and adjust repaired mechanical parts (e.g., wheel alignment, brake balance, engine timing) to verify proper performance and safety.
Inspect vehicles for roadworthiness, issue certificates, or detail required repairs; may respond to breakdown calls for on-site assistance.

Skill & Experience

Trade qualification as a Motor Mechanic (General) or equivalent experience.
Proven 1-year full-time experience in diagnostic skills with both conventional and computerized systems, especially on 4WD and light commercial vehicles.
Ability to interpret service manuals, wiring diagrams, and parts catalogues accurately.
Strong attention to detail, physical stamina, and a valid driver’s license (manual license preferred).
Commitment to safety and quality workmanship.
Relevant qualification to above field.

Apply now to join a team that works on all vehicles – from daily drivers to serious off-road rigs.

Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter detailing your relevant experience. Applications will be reviewed as received, therefore, please apply as soon as possible before the closing date.
