Motor Mechanic
Visa sponsorship
Automotive · Darwin, NT, Australia · Full-Time · $75,000 - $110,000/yr · Visa: Employer sponsored
No fluff. A Northern Territory automotive business needs a Motor Mechanic, full time, working from a workshop in a remote community. You repair what comes in, find the fault when nobody else can and carry each job through on your own.
Candidates from overseas can apply. Visa sponsorship might be on the table for suitably qualified international applicants, provided they meet the employer's eligibility requirements.
If you hold a trade certificate and have spent real hours under bonnets, say so in plain English. Lead your CV with the qualification, then your fault-finding record. Turn your trade history into a Motor Mechanic CV with Build AI CV and apply once it is ready.
