Job Description - Apprentice Mechanic

Looking to start a career in the automotive industry? Whether you’re straight out of school, looking for a career change, or ready to turn your interest in cars into a trade, this could be the opportunity for you.

We’re looking for a motivated Apprentice Light Vehicle Mechanic to join a busy, well-established automotive workshop in Moorooka.

This is an
open-age apprenticeship, and we welcome applications from both junior and mature-age candidates. Previous mechanical experience isn’t essential. What matters most is that you’re reliable, mechanically minded, willing to learn and genuinely committed to completing your trade.

You’ll be working alongside experienced technicians in a modern workshop, gaining hands-on experience across vehicle servicing, diagnostics and repairs while completing your nationally recognised automotive qualification.

What’s in It for You
  • Open-age opportunity with junior and mature-age applicants encouraged to apply
  • Earn while you learn and complete your automotive trade qualification
  • Work in a clean, modern workshop with up-to-date equipment and technology
  • Learn directly from experienced, qualified technicians
  • Hands-on experience across servicing, diagnostics and mechanical repairs
  • Supportive team environment where you’ll be taught properly
  • Genuine long-term career opportunities once qualified
What You’ll Be Doing
  • Assisting qualified technicians with vehicle servicing and repairs
  • Learning fault finding and diagnostic procedures
  • Carrying out general workshop duties as your skills develop
  • Working on a range of new and used vehicles
  • Assisting with vehicle pick-ups and drop-offs when required
  • Completing your apprenticeship training and trade qualification

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need to know everything about cars already. We’re looking for someone with the right attitude who wants to build a career in the trade.
To be considered, you’ll need:
  • A genuine interest in cars and the automotive industry
  • A strong work ethic and willingness to learn
  • To be reliable, punctual and comfortable working as part of a team
  • A current manual driver’s licence, essential
  • Commitment to completing a full apprenticeship
  • Australian or New Zealand citizenship or Australian permanent residency
