Create a career to be proud of. Expect all this and more when you join Linfox.

What does the job look like?

Are you an experienced Heavy Diesel Mechanic looking to step away from the grind of major overhauls and heavy lifting? At Linfox, we offer a refreshing change—a service-focused environment where major repairs and warranty work are managed by the dealer, so you can concentrate on what you love: precision, routine servicing and keeping trucks and trailers running smoothly.

With our modern fleet, cutting-edge facilities, and unwavering commitment to safety and innovation, this is your opportunity to refine your skills in a supportive, professional setting—without the strain of heavy rebuilds.

Young Fleet:Work on a modern fleet of trucks and trailers, ensuring you’re always using reliable equipment and the latest technology.

Competitive Pay:Enjoy a highly competitive hourly rate with plenty of overtime opportunities to maximize your earnings.

Flexible Shifts:Choose between day or afternoon shifts that fit your lifestyle and personal preferences.

Lighter Workload:Focus on general servicing—no engine or gearbox rebuilds. Enough work to keep you busy, without breaking your back.

Consistent Overtime:Plenty of regular overtime available to boost your income.

Key Responsibilities:

Perform routine servicing tasks such as oil changes, filter replacements, lubrication, and engine tune-ups to keep vehicles running smoothly and meeting emissions and fleet standards.

Diagnose and troubleshoot mechanical and electrical faults using advanced diagnostic tools and systems.

Inspect engine assemblies, transmissions, steering mechanisms, and other components for wear or issues—no heavy overhauls required.

Replace defective parts and reassemble components with precision, relying on service manuals when required.

Conduct vehicle inspections and prepare detailed reports or issue roadworthy certificates.

Test and adjust mechanical systems post-service to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Provide occasional on-site support for breakdowns with a focus on quick fixes and getting vehicles back on the road.

This role allows you to focus on high-quality service work, without the strain of major rebuilds or warranty repairs.

Are You the One?

We’re looking for skilled Diesel Mechanics who want to enjoy their work again—with less heavy lifting and more satisfaction. If you take pride in delivering exceptional workmanship with efficiency and professionalism, this is the role for you.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

Qualifications & Experience:A Mechanical Trade qualification with proven experience as a Heavy Vehicle Mechanic is essential.

Attention to Detail:Ability to read and interpret maintenance manuals accurately.

Licensing:An HR/HC licence is desirable but not mandatory.

Time Management:Strong ability to adhere to schedules while maintaining quality standards.

Customer Focus:Excellent communication skills with a customer-first mindset.

Positive Attitude:A proactive approach to work with a commitment to safety and teamwork.

This is your chance to leverage your expertise in a role that prioritizes lighter mechanical work, while offering career growth in a professional service environment. With competitive pay, flexible shifts, ample overtime opportunities, and access to a young fleet of vehicles, now is the perfect time to join Linfox

We kindly request no unsolicited resumes or approaches from Recruitment Agencies. Linfox is not responsible for any fees related to unsolicited resumes.
