Job Summary:

Multiple opportunities for Heavy Vehicle Mechanics at brand new state-of-the-art facility in Melbourne's western suburbs. AM and PM shifts

For over 90 years, Wettenhalls has been providing responsive, safe and innovative transportation solutions across Australia.

With 15 sites, including a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Altona, Wettenhalls has a fleet of approximately 180 prime movers, 10 rigids and over 300 trailers, servicing key markets including dairy, food and beverage, wharf services and construction.

A family-based business, Wettenhalls has a team of over 350 skilled and dedicated employees and subcontractors. Their culture is based on achieving excellence through rigorous training in health and safety, outstanding customer service and respect for the communities in which they operate.

With exciting recent growth, and the Altona facility almost complete, Wettenhalls now has multiple full-time opportunities for Heavy Vehicle Mechanics to join their team.

Ideally, Wettenhalls is looking for people to cover the PM shifts (3pm-1am Monday-Thursday), however there are also AM shifts available (7am-5pm Monday-Friday).

Reporting to the General Manager – Fleet and Maintenance, and working with another 3-4 Mechanics on any particular shift, this is essentially a heavy-vehicle servicing role that will see you providing generalised servicing work to the Wettenhalls fleet of trucks and trailers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for Mechanics with truck and trailer experience, to join an organisation that encourages ongoing training and career progression opportunities. Wettenhalls are also open to speaking to people who don't have formal trade qualifications as a Mechanic, but have considerable experience servicing trailers and prime movers.

Importantly, you will have good attention to detail, a positive attitude and a strong focus on workplace safety.

Who wouldn't want to kickstart the new year working in a brand new facility that boasts a fully customised workshop, drive through cross dock and warehouse, roller brake tester, automatic truck wash, state-of-the-art offices and fully concreted yard?!

On joining Wettenhalls you will be joining a family-friendly organisation in an exciting chapter of their growth. You will be well-supported; encouraged to undertake further up-skilling and training to improve your knowledge base; and given the opportunity to work on a large modern fleet of Scania/DAF and American trucks.

You will be offered competitive hourly rates circa $37p/h – $45p/h, depending on which shifts you are working and negotiable with skills and experience.
