Motor Mechanic
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Darwin, NT, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
Swapping a Harare winter morning for the heat of the Northern Territory takes more than a plane ticket, it takes a trade. A workshop in a remote community needs a full-time Motor Mechanic to service, repair and diagnose vehicles and to manage the work independently.
Applications from overseas are welcome. The employer notes that, for suitably qualified international applicants, visa sponsorship could be available, subject to eligibility requirements.
Give the employer something solid to read. Open your English CV with your trade qualification, then add the diagnostic equipment you have used and any diesel repair experience. Use Build AI CV to get your mechanic CV ready.
