Recent Zealand Diesel Technicians Wanted

Looking for a change of scenery, a working holiday with real earning potential, or a chance to bring your trade across to Australia? WSB Distributors has opportunities across South Australia including the Clare Valley, Mid North, Riverland, Murray Mallee, Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas.

Whether you are looking for a working holiday stint, a short-term harvest contract, a long-term placement or you’re thinking about putting down permanent roots in one of Australia’s premier wine and agricultural regions, we want to hear from you. New Zealand citizens can generally live and work in Australia under the Special Category Visa (subclass 444), granted on arrival with a valid NZ passport, making the move across the Tasman straightforward.

Why Make the Move to WSB?

We are an established, family-owned agricultural dealership that understands life outside the workshop is just as important as the job.

- Flexible Arrangements: Open to working holidays, fixed short-term seasonal placements, or long-term permanent roles.

- See More of South Australia: There are opportunities to travel and work across our regional branch network.

- Support with the move and initial accommodation assistance may be on offer to help you hit the ground running.

- Broadacre & Big Gear Experience: Work on world-class agricultural equipment, including AGCO hay and harvest machinery, Krone balers, and Manitou telehandlers.

- Genuine Balance: Work hard, earn well, and spend your time off exploring world-class wineries, coastal beaches, and rugged outback tracks just a drive away.

What Your Days Look Like

- Diagnose, service, and repair broadacre machinery, balers, and telehandlers both in the workshop and out in the field

- Work independently in dedicated field service vehicles, connecting directly with our farming community.

- Collaborate with an experienced, supportive crew ready to share knowledge and back you up.

What We Are Looking For

- Recognised heavy diesel or automotive trade qualification

- 2–3 years post-trade experience preferred, but newly qualified techs are welcome to apply.

- Self-motivated, easygoing attitude with solid communication skills.
