Coolum, Sunshine Coast, QLD | Full-Time | Genuine Leadership Role | Huge Career Growth

You’re probably not even looking for another job.

You’re already the person everyone comes to when sh#t goes wrong.

The difficult diagnostic?

Your problem.

The apprentice who needs help?

Your problem.

Your problem.

Someone else stuffs something up?

Somehow also your problem.

You’re the one carrying the standard.

But despite all that responsibility.

You’re still treated like just another number.

Sound familiar?

This might be the opportunity you didn’t know you were looking for.

WE’RE HARLENS HEAVY DIESEL SERVICES.

We’re a family-owned heavy diesel business based in Coolum on the Sunshine Coast.
We’re growing.

FAST.

We’ve got plenty of work.

And now we’re looking for an A-player Heavy Diesel Mechanic / Foreman who wants to help us build the next stage of Harlens.

Not someone who needs their hand held.

Not someone chasing a fancy title.

And definitely not someone looking for somewhere to hide.

We’re looking for a qualified diesel mechanic who knows their sh#t, takes pride in their work and is ready to LEAD.

MAYBE YOU’RE JUST F#*KING OVER IT.

Being treated like a number despite being one of the people holding the place together.

Carrying B-players who don't give half as much of a sh#t as you do.
Watching lazy or average workers get away with poor standards while you’re expected to pick up the pieces.

Being micromanaged despite proving yourself over and over again.

Being given all the responsibility but none of the authority to actually make decisions.

Being told there’s career progression coming.

But somehow, five years later,



you’re still standing in the same workshop hearing the same promises.

“We’ll review your pay.”

“We’ll get another mechanic.”

“We’ll sort the workshop.”

“We’ll give you more responsibility.”

“We’ll make some changes.”

Maybe you’re sick of constant chaos.

Jobs getting dumped on you.

And good ideas falling on deaf ears.

Maybe you’re simply wondering:

“Is this really as far as I can go here?”

If any of that hits a nerve.

We should probably talk.

HERE’S WHAT WE’RE BUILDING AT HARLENS.

We don't want another employee.

We want someone who can become a key part of this business.

Someone Trent and Teagan can trust to take ownership of the workshop.

Someone who can help our mechanics become better mechanics.

Someone who can help apprentices develop properly.

Someone who holds a high standard and isn’t afraid to hold other people to it too.

And someone who sees a problem and thinks:

“How do we fix this properly?”

Rather than:

“Not my problem.”

As Harlens grows, this role grows with it.

Today, that’s helping lead the workshop.

Tomorrow?

It could be managing a much larger team.

Developing the next generation of leading hands.

Helping improve systems and processes.





Helping us build divisions that don't even exist yet.

And becoming one of the key people responsible for where Harlens goes over the next 5-10 years.

There is no artificial ceiling here.

YOU’LL ACTUALLY HAVE A VOICE.

This bit matters.

We’re not looking for a Foreman so we can give them responsibility and then second-guess every decision they make.

If we hire the right person…

We want your opinion.

If something in the workshop is sh#t, tell us.

If a process doesn't work, help us fix it.

If someone isn't performing, let's deal with it.

If you have an idea that could make Harlens better, we want to hear it.

You’ll have responsibility.

But you'll also have the authority, trust and support required to actually lead.

There’s nothing more frustrating than being told:

“You’re responsible for this.”

While simultaneously being told exactly how to do every f#*king thing.

SO, WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

First things first…

You need to be a qualified Heavy Diesel Mechanic / Technician.

You need to know your trade.

But being the best mechanic in Queensland doesn't automatically make you a great Foreman.

We’re looking for someone who:

- Takes enormous pride in producing bloody good work
- Has robust heavy diesel diagnostic, service and repair experience
- Naturally takes ownership when something needs to get done
- Has high standards for themselves AND the people around them
- Can lead mechanics and apprentices without being a d*ckhe@d
- Communicates clearly and can have difficult conversations when required
- Doesn’t need Trent standing behind them
