  • NZQA Level 4 National Certificate in Heavy Road Transport (or equivalent)
  • Minimum 3 years hands-on experience as a heavy diesel technician (truck brands essential- Volvo, Mack, or Hino preferred)
  • Current NZ driver licence (Class 2 minimum, Class 5 preferred or willing to obtain)
  • Strong safety focus and proactive work ethic
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills
  • Reliability and a team-focused mindset
