Diesel Mechanic

Are you a skilled Diesel Mechanic looking for the next step in your career?

Or are you a seasoned Mechanic looking to have more work-life balance?

We're looking for a motivated and experienced individual to support our growing fleet in Taupo,with responsibility extending to Taumarunui and Ohakune.

This is a new role as a result of our nationwide growth!

The Role:

• Work with our current service providers to manage maintenance and repairs.
• Diagnose and repair faults across a mixed-age fleet of approx. 80 buses, including an Electric Bus (EV).
• Opportunity to upskill and train in EV technology.
• Coordinate and manage third-party suppliers for overflow servicing.
• Travel to Taumarunui and Ohakune (twice a month) to check on fleet, handle minor repairs, and liaise with local service providers.
• Collaborate with operations to ensure the fleet is well-maintained and road ready.
• Work Ute with service body provided.

Who are we looking for?

A senior Diesel Mechanic looking to take on more responsibility as we expand in the Taupo area. Someone wanting a mix of hands-on and supervisory work, with time spent managing maintenance rather than just being on the tools full-time.

Alternatively, this role could also suit someone who is looking to have less stress and more work-life balance - buses don't typically work the weekends and you'll be home at 5.

You will need:

• Trade qualification in Diesel Mechanics (or equivalent experience).
• Strong fault diagnosis and repair skills.
• Willingness to train and upskill in Electric Vehicle (EV) maintenance. (we pay for the Mito course if this is of interest)
• Ability to work independently and manage third-party service providers.
• Full NZ driver's licence (Class 2 or higher preferred).

This is a great opportunity to step into a leadership role while still staying hands-on when needed.

If you're looking for a change and want to be part of a growing team, apply today.

We will be reviewing applicants as they apply.

Please note that Tranzit requires a pre-employment Drug & Alcohol test, and you must be a NZ citizen/Permanent Resident, or have the entitlement to legally work in NZ to apply for this role.
