placeAuckland calendar_month 

You’ll be entering a high-skill workshop that demands excellence, precision, and diagnostic accuracy. We’re not looking for “just a mechanic” — we want someone who can lead by example, solve problems, and continuously improve our operation.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Full servicing and repairs of modern VW Crafter vans, LDV V80, and LDV Deliver 9
  • Diagnostics using VW Erwin and manufacturer software
  • Cambelt replacements, engine removals, and general mechanical tasks
  • Working with and mentoring other staff to maintain high workshop standards
  • Strict adherence to factory manuals and service protocols
  • Occasional supervisory duties or leadership of small teams
What We’re Looking For
  • NZ Certificate in Heavy Automotive Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (Level 5)
(Level 4 considered with supervisory experience)
  • Experience with VW Erwin, LDV factory manuals, and diagnostic software
  • 5+ years’ experience working on light commercial vehicles (VW, LDV, Mercedes preferred)
  • You must have a full NZ drivers license
  • Fluent in English – reading, writing, and speaking
  • NZ citizenship or permanent residency is required - No overseas applications please
  • High physical and mental fitness (this is a hands-on role)
  • Kind, respectful, reliable — a strong team player with high standards
  • Organised and willing to research and solve complex issues
  • Able to cover 1 weekend day on a rotating roster Sept–April

Who Will Thrive In This Position?

This role will suit a mechanic who is:
  • Physically fit and experienced
  • Possibly ex-VW, LDV, or Mercedes workshop trained, or currently underappreciated in a larger dealership
  • Keen to escape the red tape of corporate garages and join a team that values your contribution
  • Interested in mentoring younger staff, not just fixing vehicles
  • Motivated by professional mastery, job security, and feeling valued in a team
