Workshop Team Leader and Heavy Vehicle Mechanic
Kulnura Transport Workshop
(Central Coast and Newcastle) Lead the Team. Shape the Workshop. Drive Continuous Improvement

Are you an experienced Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic looking for more than just another workshop role?

At Heidelberg Materials, we're looking for a hands‑on leader who wants to influence how our workshop operates-not just repair trucks. This is an opportunity to build leadership capability, mentor others, improve fleet performance and play a key role in one of NSW's largest transport operations.

You'll lead the day‑to‑day mechanical function of our Kulnura Workshop and surrounding Central Coast/Newcastle areas , supporting a contemporary fleet of heavy vehicles while developing the systems, people and processes that keep our business moving.

If you're ready to step beyond the tools and broaden your leadership experience, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As the Lead Mechanic, you'll balance hands‑on technical work with leadership and planning responsibilities, including:

Leading and coordinating the inspection, diagnosis and repair of heavy vehicles and associated equipment

Planning and managing preventative maintenance programs to maximise fleet availability and reliability

Coaching, mentoring and developing mechanics to build capability across the workshop

Driving a strong safety culture and ensuring compliance with all legislative and company standards

Improving workshop systems, maintenance processes and equipment reliability through continuous improvement initiatives

Coordinating external contractors and suppliers while managing workshop priorities





Working closely with operations and transport leaders to minimise downtime and support business performance

Maintaining accurate maintenance records and supporting workshop planning and reporting

Providing technical leadership during breakdowns and critical fleet issues

What We're Looking For

You'll bring:

Trade qualification as a Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic

Demonstrated leadership or supervisory experience within a heavy vehicle workshop

Strong diagnostic capability across modern diesel engines, hydraulics and electronic systems

A proactive mindset with a passion for developing people and improving the way work is done

Excellent communication and planning skills

HC driver's licence (desirable)

Experience with Mack and Volvo fleets (advantageous)

What we offer:

Regular overtime opportunities available

Negotiable hourly rate, pending on your skills, experience and leadership capability

Pre-employment medical, drug and alcohol screening required

Current driver's licence required

We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.

Why Join Heidelberg Materials?

This role offers far more than a traditional mechanic position. You'll have the opportunity to:

Develop your leadership skills while continuing to apply your technical expertise





Influence workshop performance and contribute to long-term fleet reliability

Mentor the next generation of mechanics

Be part of a supportive leadership team that values continuous improvement and innovation

Build experience that can open pathways into broader maintenance, transport and operational leadership roles across Heidelberg Materials.
