Automotive Technicians
Automotive · Sydney NSW, Australia · Full-Time · $80,000/yr
Think a premium European sedan on Monday, a Korean hatch on Tuesday and a brand-new electric model by Friday. Reputable dealerships and automotive groups in several Australian states are taking a look at automotive technicians with proper workshop backgrounds, and this listing is based in Sydney.
Titles on the table include Automotive Technician, Senior Technician, Diagnostic Technician, Master Technician, EV/High-Voltage Technician and Technical Specialist. Brands range from premium European and luxury vehicles to Japanese, Korean and emerging electric vehicle makes.
Paper alone will not carry you. Be ready to show the jobs you have done, the workshops that shaped you and the technical work you really know. A completed TRA Skills Assessment and English test are on the list, so get your South African trade paperwork moving early.
