Adelaide, South Australia Remote Transport Australia Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Remote Transport Australia (RTA) is on the lookout for a qualified and experienced Diesel Mechanic to join our small team of legends. This role is best suited to someone who's self-motivated, hands-on, has great mechanical skills, a keen eye for detail, and a proactive attitude to take the reins of the RTA workshop. At the moment, the workshop is being run by the owner, but his attention is needed in other parts of the business.

About the Role:

You'll mostly be working on your own, taking care of the servicing, fabrication, and repairs of our trailers, prime movers, and dollies, with a strong focus on Kenworth, Cummins, and CAT engines.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Diagnose, service, and repair Kenworth prime movers and associated equipment
  • Carry out annual trailer and truck servicing
  • Maintain and repair Cummins and CAT engines
  • Rewire trailers and handle electrical fault-finding (not essential – happy to teach)
  • Do fabrication and welding when needed (not essential – happy to teach)
  • Keep on top of preventative maintenance and safety checks
  • Work well independently and as part of a team
  • Fill out service paperwork properly and on time
  • Manage workshop stock and reorder parts when required
  • Use purchase order systems
  • Be available some weekends if the team needs a hand

About You:

  • Trade qualified Diesel Mechanic (or equivalent experience)
  • Previous experience with Kenworth prime movers, Cummins, and CAT engines (preferred)
  • Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills
  • Trailer rewiring and electrical repair skills (or willing to learn)
  • Welding and fabrication skills are an advantage
  • Committed to safe and quality work
  • Current driver's licence (HR/MC licence handy but not essential)

What We Offer:

  • Competitive pay based on your skills and experience
  • Full-time position with job security (3-month probation)
  • Training and upskilling if you need it
  • A supportive, easy-going team environment
  • Flexibility to put together a package that works for the right person

Important to Know:

  • As part of the transport industry, all employees are subject to random drug and alcohol testing
  • The successful applicant will also need to complete a pre-employment medical

If you're hardworking, reliable, and easy-going, and you're ready for a new challenge with a smaller but respected transport company, we'd love to hear from you. You're also welcome to swing by the yard, check out the workshop, and see if it feels like a good fit.
