Mechanical Technician - Vehicles & Equipment

An established organisation in the Newcastle region is looking to recruit a qualified Heavy Vehicle / Diesel Mechanic to join its technical services team in a permanent, full-time position.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced mechanic who enjoys hands-on fault finding and problem solving and would like to work across a varied range of vehicles and equipment rather than conventional fleet servicing.
The position offers excellent long-term stability, ongoing technical training and the opportunity to broaden your skills across mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic and electronically controlled systems.

The Role Working within an experienced technical team, your responsibilities will include:

- Planned and preventative maintenance
- Mechanical servicing and repairs
- Mechanical fault finding and diagnostics
- Troubleshooting hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- Repair and replacement of mechanical components
- Inspection and testing of vehicles and equipment
- Reading and interpreting technical drawings, schematics and service information
- Exposure to electrical and electronically controlled systems




- Completing maintenance and service documentation
- Ensuring equipment is maintained to a high standard of safety and reliability
- Working both independently and alongside other technical specialists

The equipment is diverse and technically interesting, so the role would particularly suit someone who enjoys investigating faults and understanding how different mechanical and control systems interact, rather than simply carrying out routine servicing.
About You To be considered, you will ideally have:

- Australian-recognised Heavy Vehicle Mechanic / Diesel Mechanic trade qualification
- Experience maintaining and repairing heavy vehicles, mobile equipment or similar machinery
- Strong mechanical fault-finding skills
- Experience working with hydraulic and pneumatic systems
- Ability to interpret technical drawings and schematics

- Good computer literacy
- Unrestricted driver's licence
- Strong commitment to safety and quality
- Ability to work independently and as part of a small technical team
