About the role

This is a full-time (Monday to Friday) hands-on senior mechanic role for someone with broad mechanical knowledge, solid diagnostic skills and experience. We're looking for technical leadership: someone who leads by example, shares their knowledge, maintains high standards and helps the workshop operate efficiently and plays an important part in maintaining the quality and reputation of our workshop.

Key responsibilities

- Diagnose, service and repair a wide range of vehicle makes and models.

- Apply strong petrol and diesel knowledge, with opportunities to work on hybrid and electric vehicles within your training and capabilities.

- Accurately record diagnostic findings, repairs completed and any additional work identified.

- Provide practical technical support, guidance and mentoring to mechanics and apprentices when required.

- Communicate professionally and work alongside the team to keep the workshop running smoothly.

- Maintain a clean and organised bay and workshop.

- Follow all workplace health and safety procedures to maintain a safe working environment.

About you

- Minimum of five (5)



years experience as a qualified and experienced light vehicle mechanic.

- Broad experience across different makes and models rather than specialising in just one brand.

- Strong petrol and diesel mechanical knowledge.

- Confident with complex diagnostics and fault finding.

- Can work independently and use sound judgement to determine the best approach to a repair.

- Takes pride in the quality of their workmanship and gets jobs right the first time.

About us

Rob Middleton Motors is an independent, family-owned automotive business operating in Heathcote (central Victoria) for over 40 years, incorporating a busy mechanical workshop and used vehicle dealership. One of the great things about working in our workshop is the variety. We work across different makes, models and ages of vehicles, so no two days are the same.

We're a small team, which means everyone's contribution matters. We're looking for someone who wants to be part of the workshop, takes ownership of their work, and enjoys working alongside people who are focused on doing a good job for our customers.
