Transport and Logistics Hub – Braeside VIC
Heavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic / Fleet Maintenance Lead — Hino, Mercedes Actros & Cat-powered prime movers
Transport & Logistics HUB Pty Ltd (TLH)
About TLH
TLH started in **** with one truck and no outside funding. Today we run a fleet of 18 trucks moving building equipment and industrial steel for clients like Acrow, Kingflex and BSP across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the interstate corridors between them. We're a small, tight crew of around 20 people, and we build a lot of our own tooling in-house — including the fleet maintenance and inspection system you'll be working in every day.
The role
This is a hands-on diesel mechanic role with ownership. You'll be the person who keeps a working fleet on the road — diagnosing, repairing and servicing Hino rigids and Mercedes-Benz Actros MP4 prime movers, with some Caterpillar C15-powered gear in the mix — and you'll run the workshop schedule around it. You won't be handed a job card by a service advisor; you'll talk to the driver, decide what the truck needs, book it in, order the parts and get it done.
What you'll be doing
Workshop (most of your week)
Diagnose and repair across the fleet — engine, driveline, suspension, brakes, electrical, exhaust/AdBlue aftertreatment
Use XENTRY on the Actros fleet and Hino diagnostics to read, interpret and transparent faults properly — not just reset and hope
Scheduled servicing and inspections to the maintenance program (NHVR Basic Fatigue/Maintenance Management standards)
Suspension and chassis work — bushes, shocks, airbags, spring packs
Trailer electrical and ABS/EBS fault-finding
Roadside and off-site breakdown response when a truck goes down on a run




Welding and fabrication for tray, gate and chassis repairs
Fleet coordination (the rest)
Take calls from drivers, work out what's actually wrong, and decide on the spot whether it's drive-on, book-in or pull-over
Plan the weekly workshop schedule with the VIC operations manager so trucks come off the road when it hurts least
Raise and close job cards in our in-house maintenance system (tablet-based, photos attached, no paper)
Order parts, manage supplier relationships and keep pricing sharp (we buy through Capricorn)
Keep maintenance spend inside budget and flag anything big before it happens
What we're looking for
Trade-qualified heavy vehicle / diesel mechanic (Cert III Heavy Commercial Vehicle or equivalent)
Solid experience on Japanese and European trucks — Hino and Mercedes-Benz ideal; XENTRY experience is a real advantage
Confident with electronic diagnostics and modern emissions systems (SCR/AdBlue, DPF)
Can work unsupervised and make the call — you'll be the senior mechanic on site
HR or HC licence (or willing to get one — we'll support it) so you can move and road-test trucks
Welding/fabrication skills (MIG/stick) strongly preferred
Clear communicator who's happy dealing with drivers, suppliers and the ops team all day
What's in it for you
Autonomy: you run the workshop, not a service desk
Variety: mixed fleet, local and interstate work, breakdowns and fabrication — not the same service every day
Flexible schedule around the fleet's needs
Performance-based salary reviews
A path to build and lead your own workshop team as the fleet grows
Small company — decisions get made fast and your input actually changes things
