Qualified Small Engine Mechanic

$91,000 + Super | Overtime | Bonus Potential

We are a busy, established outdoor power equipment dealership in Penrith looking for an experienced small engine / OPE mechanic to join our team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who knows their way around a workshop, works efficiently without needing to be micromanaged, and wants to be part of a workplace that is professional, productive and genuinely enjoyable to work in.

We specialise in premium brands including STIHL, Cub Cadet, Atom and Masport.

The Role

You will primarily be responsible for diagnosing, servicing and repairing a wide range of 2-stroke and 4-stroke equipment, including:

- Chainsaws and concrete saws

- Lawn mowers and ride-on mowers

- Brushcutters, blowers and hedge trimmers

- Pumps and other outdoor power equipment

You will be expected to confidently diagnose faults, identify required parts and complete repairs efficiently and to a high standard.

This is predominantly a workshop-based role, however customer service is an important part of the position. You must be comfortable speaking with customers, explaining repairs and assisting in the retail store when required.

What We're Looking For

Previous experience in a lawn mower dealership, outdoor power equipment workshop or small engine business is essential.

We may also consider highly experienced candidates from closely related industries such as motorcycle repair.

The ideal candidate will:

- Be confident repairing both 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines

- Be a capable fault-finder and diagnostician

- Work efficiently with minimal supervision

- Be reliable, organised and self-motivated

- Take pride in completing repairs properly the first time

- Be comfortable dealing with customers when required





- Be confident sourcing and cross-referencing parts through supplier platforms such as STIHL, MTD, Gripske, Jakmax and Briggs & Stratton, considering availability, price and turnaround time

STIHL & Industry Experience

STIHL dealership experience is highly regarded.

Candidates who have completed STIHL technical training, including Bronze, Silver and/or Gold, will be particularly attractive to us.

Experience using Biscount dealership/workshop software is also a significant advantage.

Your technical experience, STIHL training, Biscount knowledge and ability to step into the role with minimal training will influence your starting remuneration.

What We Offer

For the right candidate:

$91,000 + superannuation

Plus:

- Paid overtime opportunities

- Potential performance bonuses

- Permanent full-time employment

- Stable, established business

- Premium brands and varied mechanical work

- A small, supportive team

- Genuine autonomy without unnecessary micromanagement

We work hard, but we also enjoy coming to work.

Our workplace is friendly, light-hearted and relaxed when it can be, while still being skilled and focused when things need to get done.

We are looking for someone who fits that balance — someone who can have a laugh, work well with a small team and still take pride in being productive and doing quality work.

Is This You?

If you are currently working in a mower shop, STIHL dealership, OPE workshop or similar small-engine business and are considering your next move, we'd love to hear from you.

We are prepared to wait for the right person rather than simply fill the position.

Applicants without relevant small-engine or OPE workshop experience are unlikely to be suitable.

All applications and enquiries will be treated confidentially.

Apply through SEEK with your resume and a brief summary of your relevant experience.
