REAL TALK — READ THIS FIRST

You've probably skimmed a dozen job ads today, They all look the same.

"Competitive salary." "Great culture." "Excellent opportunity."

Yawn.

Here's what we're NOT going to do: waste your time with corporate BS.

We're Breakout Heavy Diesel — a fast-growing, hard-working workshop in Adelaide that fixes and services heavy earthmoving equipment. We work on the big stuff: Cat, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Liebherr. If it moves earth, we touch it.

We need ONE elite diesel mechanic to join a crew that values the work, pays well, and actually gives a sh*t about doing the job right.

If you're just tyre-kicking for a better pay packet before moving on — this isn't for you. Stop reading.

But if you're a tradesperson who takes pride in quality work, wants to be paid what you're worth, and is ready to join a workshop you'll actually be proud to turn up to every day…

Keep reading. This is the role you've been waiting for.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Let's get straight to it — here's what you're getting:

- Pay: $120,000 – $140,000. We pay what you're worth. No games.

- Vehicle Allowance: Company vehicle + fuel card.

- The Workshop: Brand new, clean, well-equipped facility. You'll be proud to work here.

We'd rather pay one elite mechanic properly than underpay two average ones.

️THE WORK — IF IT BLEEDS OIL, YOU FIX IT





You'll be our expert across workshop and field service — playing with the good gear an diagnosing issues.

What you'll be working on:

✓ Cat, Komatsu, Hitachi, Volvo, Liebherr — if it moves earth, we touch it

✓ Component change-outs, engine/driveline/hydraulic rebuilds, undercarriage, fault- finding

✓ Machinery across multiple industries — no two days are the same

Your goal:

Fix it once. Fix it right. Get the job done and move on. Zero paperwork headaches.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You're more than just a ticket holder. You're the person everyone trusts with the tough jobs.

You MUST have:

✓ Trade Qualified — Cert III (Mobile Plant / Road Transport)

✓ 3+ years post-trade experience minimum (you know your way around a wiring diagram)

✓ Attitude: You work independently, but you're a genuine team player. You value safety and take the work seriously.

Bonus points if you:

✓ Know your way around diagnostic software — Cat ET, SIS, Insite, Quick Serve etc.

✓ Can crimp a hydraulic hose without turning it into modern art

✓ Have tickets (forklift, working at heights, rigging) or you're ready to get them

⏰ WHY PEOPLE STAY AT BREAKOUT

We know money isn't everything. Here's what else you get when you join the team:

✓ Tight team environment — the owner’s on the tools with you, not in an office

✓ A team that actually respects each other and the trade

✓ Reliable, growing business with real long-term job security





✓ Autonomy — we trust you to do your job. We're not standing over your shoulder.

✓ Meaningful work — the stuff you fix keeps industries moving. That matters.

Powered by Purpose. Driven by People. Built to Perform.

❌ THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…

✓ You clock-watch and bolt the second the bell rings

✓ You do the bare minimum and call it "good enough"

✓ You leave tools where they land and problems for someone else

✓ You can't communicate clearly with the team or customers

We have a zero-tolerance policy for mediocrity. If that's you, no hard feelings — just not the right fit.
