Key points we found

  • Join a respected workshop in Torquay as a Light Vehicle Mechanic.
  • Perform a variety of mechanical repairs across different vehicles.
  • Work in a supportive team environment with guaranteed overtime.

We’re on the hunt for a qualified Light Vehicle Mechanic to join a respected workshop in Torquay. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety in their day, thrives in a supportive team environment, and takes pride in delivering quality mechanical work across a broad range of vehicles.

The workshop sees an average of 5–10 vehicles per day, offering steady, diverse work without the chaos. You'll be responsible for all aspects of mechanical repairs—from diagnostics and servicing to suspension, brakes, and engine work. This role is hands-on and broad, making it ideal for someone who doesn’t want to be boxed into one specialty.

The position is full-time, working Monday to Friday, with 2 hours of guaranteed overtime per week available.

We’re looking for someone who brings not just experience, but also the right mindset.
You’ll need:

  • A minimum of 2 years post-qualification experience, ideally from an independent or franchise background rather than dealerships
  • Solid diagnostic and troubleshooting skills
  • Proficiency with scan tools and the confidence to work independently when needed
  • A strong attitude, reliability, and a team-oriented work ethic
  • Flexibility to work on a wide range of makes and models
  • Full Australian working rights

This is a down-to-earth workshop that values good people and solid work. You will be joining a team that offers position stability and a good hourly rate.

For further information on this role, please contact Kirra Cude on 0480 004 950, quoting reference number AF7997. Resumes and enquiries can be forwarded to [email protected]
