Junior Detail Technician - Mobile Car Detailing

$36/hr casual + super to start · Approximately 30–38 hours a week · Cardiff South

Want to learn qualified car detailing and work towards running your own jobs?

I’m Conan, the owner of Detail Fix. I’m hiring someone to work alongside me on booked mobile detailing jobs across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie. I’ll show you how I do the work, give you feedback as you go, and hand over more responsibility as you build confidence and consistency.

What you’ll get

- $36/hr casual plus super from the start, with a pathway to $40/hr as you demonstrate consistent quality, pace and independence.
- Hands-on training on real customer jobs. You’ll learn the basics on Standard and Maintenance Details, then build your skills in Deep Interiors and basic paint correction.
- Time set aside each week for your development. We’ll take 20 minutes to talk through what’s going well, what you’d like more practice with and what support would help you take the next step.
- A path to working independently. Start by taking responsibility for parts of a job, then work towards handling suitable bookings from setup to final check.
- Equipment supplied and work travel paid. You’ll start and finish in Cardiff South.

Who I’m looking for

If you enjoy working with your hands and like stepping back at the end of a job to see the difference you’ve made, you’ll probably enjoy detailing.

I’m looking for someone who follows through on what they say they’ll do, takes care with other people’s cars and gets satisfaction from getting better at a skill. If you’re curious about how things are done,



happy to ask questions and keen to have a go, we’ll work well together.

Role details

You can start without paid detailing experience. If you’ve worked in another hands-on job or taught yourself a practical skill, I’d like to hear what you’ve learned.

The initial workdays are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with optional Saturdays at applicable penalty rates. Hours can vary with bookings and weather.

An automatic only licence is fine to start but you’ll need to be able to drive a manual before taking on solo bookings.

How to apply

Apply through Indeed and tell me in a few sentences about a practical task you learned. What feedback did you get, and what did you change on your next attempt?

The next step for suitable applicants is a short phone conversation, followed by a paid practical assessment. You can see more about the role and the work at https://detailfix.com.au/careers.

Pay: From $36.00 per hour

Expected hours: 30.0 – 38.0 per week

Application Question(s):

- Can you work Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and reliably get to Cardiff South for an 8:30 am start?
- What driver’s licence do you currently hold? An automatic-only licence is fine to start. If that applies to you, are you willing to obtain a manual licence before taking on solo jobs?
- What caught your attention about this role at Detail Fix, and what are you hoping to learn or get better at?
- Tell us about a practical task you learned at work, in training or on a project. What did you find tricky at first, and what did you change after getting feedback or seeing how your first attempt turned out?
