Apprentice Mechanic

Summary:

Looking to start a trade and build a long-term career as a mechanic?

Country Diesel Maintenance is looking for an Apprentice Mechanic to join our Alice Springs workshop. This is a full-time opportunity to learn from an experienced team while getting plenty of hands-on experience across a varied range of vehicles and equipment.

You’ll learn mechanical servicing, diagnostics and repairs in a modern workshop, working alongside qualified mechanics who will help you develop your skills throughout your apprenticeship.

Whether you’re looking to start your apprenticeship or have already begun one and are looking for the right workshop to continue your training, we’d like to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Learn mechanical servicing, diagnostics and repair techniques under the supervision of qualified mechanics.
• Assist with vehicle inspections and identifying mechanical faults.
• Develop your skills using diagnostic tools and workshop equipment.
• Assist qualified mechanics with servicing and repair work across a range of vehicles and equipment.
• Learn to accurately record work completed, labour and parts using our Fullbay workshop management system.
• Follow workshop procedures, safety requirements and quality standards.
• Keep your work area, tools and equipment clean and organised.
• Communicate with your supervising mechanic and workshop team about jobs and any issues you identify.
• Attend and participate in required trade training as part of your apprenticeship.
• Take an active role in developing your skills and becoming a capable, independent mechanic.

Qualifications:

• A genuine interest in mechanics and learning a trade.
• Willingness to learn, take direction and have a go.
• Reliable, punctual and able to work as part of a team.
• Good attention to detail and commitment to doing work properly.
• Commitment to workplace safety.
• Basic mechanical knowledge or previous exposure to a workshop is desirable, but not essential.
• Driver’s licence preferred.
• Open to people looking to commence an apprenticeship as well as existing automotive or diesel mechanic apprentices.

This role suits someone who wants variety, genuine responsibility, opportunities to develop their skills and the Central Australian lifestyle, rather than being one anonymous face in a big-city workshop.
