Job Description

Do you love working on cars and want to do more than just standard services day in, day out?

n

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

n

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.

n

The Role

n

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.

n

What You'll Be Doing

n

n
- Routine logbook and general servicing — oil and filter changes, fluid top-ups, and wear item replacements
n
- Brake inspections and replacements, spark plugs, belts, and batteries
n
- Identifying and documenting faults accurately using job cards and service records
n
- Assisting with performance parts fitment: exhausts, suspension kits, intercoolers, brake upgrades, and more
n
- Supporting engine work and cooling system modifications under the Lead Mechanic's direction
n




- Preparing vehicles for dyno sessions, including pre-run checks and sensor fitment
n
- Using diagnostic tools to identify faults and interpret trouble codes
n
- Keeping your workbay clean, safe, and organised
n
- Contributing to a positive team environment and supporting apprentices
n

n

What We're Looking For

n

n
- Certificate III in Automotive Technology (or equivalent trade qualification) as minimum
n
- 3–5 years plus of hands-on workshop experience
n
- Solid competency across routine servicing, brakes, suspension, and diagnostics
n
- Comfortable using workshop diagnostic tools and interpreting results
n
- A genuine interest in performance vehicles — you don't have to be an expert yet, but you need to care
n
- Someone who takes pride in their work and holds themselves to a high standard
n
- A valuable communicator who works well as part of a team
n
- Valid Queensland Driver's Licence
n
- 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.
n

n

Why Join the Tuned by Chop Team?

n

n
- A team that has your back — close-knit crew where you're mentored, not just managed
n
- A real path forward — genuine stepping stone to Lead Mechanic; we promote from within
n
- Variety in your day — always learning, never bored
n
- Work you're proud of — every job that leaves our workshop reflects the whole team
n

n

Tuned by Chop is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
