Do you love working on cars and want to do more than just standard services day in, day out?
At Tuned by Chop, we offer exactly that — a workshop where your day covers everything from solid, well-executed vehicle servicing through to hands-on performance builds on some seriously exciting cars. We're a tight-knit team in Rockhampton that genuinely cares about doing great work, growing together, and building a workshop culture worth showing up for.
About Tuned by Chop
Tuned by Chop is a Rockhampton-based performance tuning and modification specialist. Our reputation is built on precision, passion, and the quality of our team. We invest in the people who join us — through training, mentoring, and real opportunities to grow into more senior roles as the business expands.
The Role
As our Mechanic, you'll split your time between keeping customers' vehicles in top shape through reliable day-to-day servicing, and getting involved in the performance side of the business — helping to fit and prep vehicles for modification and dyno work under the guidance of our Lead Mechanic. No two days are exactly the same, and that's the point.
What You'll Be Doing
Routine logbook and general servicing — oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups, and wear item replacements
Brake inspections and replacements, spark plugs, belts, and batteries
Identifying and documenting faults accurately using job cards and service records
Assisting with performance parts fitment: exhausts, suspension kits, intercoolers, brake upgrades, and more
Supporting engine work and cooling system modifications under the Lead Mechanic's direction




Preparing vehicles for dyno sessions, including pre-run checks and sensor fitment
Using diagnostic tools to identify faults and interpret trouble codes
Keeping your workbay clean, safe, and organised
Contributing to a positive team environment and supporting apprentices
What We're Looking For
Certificate III in Automotive Technology (or equivalent trade qualification) as minimum
3–5 years plus of hands-on workshop experience
Solid competency across routine servicing, brakes, suspension, and diagnostics
Comfortable using workshop diagnostic tools and interpreting results
A genuine interest in performance vehicles — you don't have to be an expert yet, but you need to care
Someone who takes pride in their work and holds themselves to a high standard
A good communicator who works well as part of a team
Valid Queensland Driver's Licence
Experience with aftermarket parts fitment, performance cars, or dyno preparation is a bonus — but attitude and willingness to learn matter just as much to us.

— close-knit crew where you're mentored, not just managed
