HEAVY DIESEL MECHANIC – AUCKLAND

KEEP SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT MOVING.

We’re looking for an experienced Heavy Diesel Mechanic to join our Auckland team and help maintain a diverse fleet of trucks, plant and specialist equipment.

This is a role for someone who enjoys solving problems. Our equipment isn't always off-the-shelf, so you'll need to be able to diagnose issues, think laterally and find practical solutions when the obvious fix isn't always the right one.

You'll work across a varied fleet including vacuum trucks, hydro excavation units, sweepers, water blasters, tankers and other custom-built equipment.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Carrying out servicing, maintenance and repairs across our heavy vehicle and specialist fleet

  • Diagnosing mechanical faults and finding practical solutions to keep equipment operating

  • Working on hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical systems

  • Carrying out preventative maintenance and inspections

  • Responding to breakdowns and equipment issues as required

  • Fabricating, modifying or adapting components where needed

  • Working with the wider Fleet and Operations teams to minimise downtime

  • Maintaining accurate service and repair records

  • Keeping your work area, tools and equipment safe and organised

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a mechanic with broad practical skills who can apply their trade to equipment that isn't always straightforward.

You'll have:

  • A relevant Heavy Diesel / Automotive trade qualification

  • Experience working on heavy vehicles, plant or specialist equipment

  • Strong diagnostic and problem-solving skills

  • A practical, "work it out" approach when faced with unusual faults or repairs

  • The ability to work independently and manage competing priorities

  • A strong commitment to safety and quality workmanship

Experience or skills in the following would be advantageous, but aren't essential:

  • Basic electrical fault-finding and repairs

  • Welding and fabrication

  • Panel beating or body repairs

  • Hydraulics and pneumatic systems

  • Working on custom-built or modified equipment

WHAT MATTERS MOST

You don't need to be an expert in everything. We're looking for someone who knows their trade, isn't afraid to have a go and can work out how to solve a problem when the standard approach doesn't quite fit.

WHY JOIN INTERGROUP?

  • SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT – Work on a diverse fleet of vacuum trucks, hydro excavation units, sweepers, water blasters, tankers and custom machinery

  • PROBLEM-SOLVING ROLE – Use your trade knowledge and practical skills to diagnose and solve a wide range of mechanical challenges

  • VARIED WORK – No two days are necessarily the same, with different equipment, repairs and challenges across the fleet
