Automotive Technician – 4-Day Week, High Standards, Proper Systems

Done with messy workshops and guesswork repairs?

Good. We are too.

We’re a clean, organised, high-standard workshop looking for a strong mid-level automotive technician who wants more responsibility, better systems, and work they can actually be proud of.

This isn’t a stepping-stone job.

It’s a place to sharpen your skills and grow into more.

Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • $35–$40/hr salary for a qualified tech
  • 42-hour week over 4 days - no overtime, no weekends
  • Clean, organised workshop with serious standards
  • Heavy investment in tools and technology:
  • Factory tooling
  • Multiple scan tools
  • 4-channel scope
  • Onsite vapour blasting, Mig and Tig
  • Offshore technical help desk support
  • Fully paperless using MechanicDesk software
  • Every job is videoed and presented clearly to customers
  • Autonomy in your bay, backed by morning and afternoon huddles
  • Workflow planned properly - the board stays full
  • Mistakes are owned, debriefed, and fixed. No blame culture
  • Small team now, clear pathway toward Workshop Supervisor as we grow
  • Self-containment certifying agency - variety and evolving work, not rinse and repeat

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll fit here if you:

  • Are a qualified automotive technician with strong hands-on ability
  • Don’t shy away from complex or unusual jobs
  • Stay calm when it’s busy and step up when deadlines matter
  • Own mistakes quickly and fix them properly
  • Treat customers with respect, even in tough conversations
  • Are comfortable with technology and digital systems
  • Want to keep learning as the workshop evolves
  • Work like the business matters - because it does
  • This is not the role if you want clock-watching, corner-cutting, or someone else to think for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Diagnosing, servicing, and repairing a wide range of vehicles
  • Handling complex jobs with care and accuracy
  • Using scopes, scan tools, and factory data properly
  • Following our documented processes and quality standards
  • Communicating clearly with the team through digital systems
  • Keeping your bay clean, organised, and efficient
  • Adapting as the workshop and certification requirements evolve
Your First 90 Days Look Like This
  • Zero comebacks
  • Full understanding of our systems and processes
  • Work that meets our quality standard every time
  • Confident handling of varied and complex jobs
