Transport and Logistics Hub – Braeside VICHeavy Vehicle Diesel Mechanic / Fleet Maintenance Lead — Hino, Mercedes Actros & Cat-powered prime moversTransport & Logistics HUB Pty Ltd (TLH)About TLHTLH 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 roleThis 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 doingWorkshop (most of your week)Diagnose and repair across the fleet — engine, driveline, suspension, brakes, electrical, exhaust/AdBlue aftertreatmentUse XENTRY on the Actros fleet and Hino diagnostics to read, interpret and transparent faults properly — not just reset and hopeScheduled servicing and inspections to the maintenance program (NHVR Basic Fatigue/Maintenance Management standards)Suspension and chassis work — bushes, shocks, airbags,
