Heavy Diesel Mechanic
Keep InterGroup’s specialist fleet moving with your heavy diesel skills, practical problem-solving and ability to tackle unusual mechanical challenges
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?

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