· Potential annual earnings of $125,000+ plus superannuation for an experienced mechanic
· Fully maintained work vehicle provided with reasonable private use
· A genuine commitment to work-life balance, with flexibility where practical and weekend work not generally expected
· Stable, full-time employment with consistent work
· Variety of work across trucks, concrete agitators, buses, hire fleet and external customer vehicles
· Well-equipped workshop with quality tooling, systems and processes in place
· Strong team culture within a family-owned Tasmanian business
· Opportunity to grow with a business that continues to expand across multiple industries
What We're Looking For
· Trade-qualified Diesel Mechanic (or equivalent heavy vehicle experience)
· Experience working on heavy vehicles, trucks or buses (concrete agitator experience is a bonus)
· Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills
· Good communication skills and the ability to work professionally with drivers and customers

· Reliable, self-motivated and willing to take ownership
· Positive attitude and team mindset
