Cleanaway is Australia's leading waste management company, operating Australia's largest heavy vehicle fleet. Our workshops play an important role in keeping our trucks and equipment running safely and reliably.

We're seeking fully qualified Heavy Diesel Mechanics interested in full-time, permanent opportunities at our workshops across Australia.

Working across our diverse fleet of heavy vehicles, you'll be involved in servicing, preventative maintenance, diagnostics and repairs to keep our operations moving.

With workshops across multiple states, there may be flexibility to find an opportunity in your preferred location.

These opportunities are open to New Zealand citizens eligible for a subclass 444 Special Category Visa. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship. Relocation assistance is not generally provided but may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Why consider a career with Cleanaway?

• Work on a diverse fleet – Maintain and repair a wide range of heavy vehicles and specialised equipment.
• Build your career in an essential industry – Join an established Australian business delivering waste management and environmental services to communities across the country.
• Competitive remuneration and benefits – Enjoy competitive pay and access to a range of employee benefits.
• Develop your skills – Access training and development opportunities to build your technical capability.

Who are we looking for?

We're particularly interested in mechanics who:

• Hold a completed Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology (or equivalent New Zealand heavy vehicle/diesel mechanic trade qualification).
• Have experience in servicing, diagnosing and repairing heavy vehicles, including mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems.
• Have strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
• Take pride in their workmanship and approach safety as a priority.
• Are dependable and able to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Can reliably travel to and from our workshops, which are often located in industrial areas with limited public transport options.

Only 1% of diesel motor mechanics in Australia are women (Jobs and Skills Australia, ABS 2021 Census). We're looking to change that and particularly encourage applications from women and non-binary people.
