Townsville, Australia Kinetic Full time

The opportunity:

At Kinetic, we pride ourselves on consistently providing safe, clean and reliable bus services for our customers and it's no surprise that this has allowed us to rapidly establish the reputation of being a leading operator of choice. Our Fleet Services team plays a crucial role in making this happen by making sure that our vehicles remain in optimum condition through top quality maintenance and repairs.

To support our Townsville operations, we are seeking a qualified Heavy Vehicle Mechanic that would like to join a tight-knit team and be a part of Kinetic's growth journey.

From general maintenance and repair tasks through to major engine component rebuilds, you’ll get a great variety of meaningful work across several vehicle makes and models to keep every day fresh and exciting. We’re also heavily focused on investing in our dedicated employees and have introduced an electric vehicle upskill program to help them become dual-trade qualified (Diesel & Electric) and set them up for long term success.

On top of that, we offer secure and long term employment, top hourly rates and penalties, various allowances, full supply of uniforms and PPE, monthly barbeques, and limitless career progression opportunities so there’s been no better time than now to join a leader in the bus industry

The boxes you'll tick:

  • Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology or equivalent
  • Previous experience in providing maintenance and repairs to heavy commercial fleet
  • Minimum MR license (HR license or above preferred but not essential)
  • Exposure to diagnostics via computer-controlled systems is a bonus
  • Ability to work autonomously and as part of a team
