Enjoy working on modified 4WDs, upgraded turbochargers and performance vehicles? Sunshine Coast Diesel Tuning is looking for an experienced mechanic to join our growing performance workshop in Warana. We specialise in diesel performance, ECU and transmission tuning, diagnostics and mechanical upgrades. From everyday touring 4WDs to heavily modified performance builds, no two days are necessarily the same.
We're looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, takes pride in their workmanship and wants to be part of a specialist automotive business. You don't need to be a tuning expert or have years of performance workshop experience. If you're a capable mechanic with the right attitude and a willingness to learn, we'd love to hear from you.
What you'll be working on:
- Turbocharger upgrades, replacements and installations
- Intercoolers, intake systems and piping
- Performance exhaust systems and modifications
- Transmission coolers and supporting upgrades
- Snorkels, catch cans and 4WD accessories
- Fuel system and injector upgrades
- Intake manifold removal, cleaning and refitting
- Mechanical diagnostics, inspections and repairs
- Stage 2 and Stage 3 performance builds
- General mechanical work and performance-related repairs
We regularly work on Ford Rangers, Toyota Hiluxes and LandCruisers, Isuzu D-MAX/MU-X, Mazda BT-50s, Nissan Patrols and Navaras, VW Amaroks and other performance vehicles.
What we're looking for:
We're looking for a reliable, capable mechanic who can approach a job confidently, work through problems and take pride in getting things right. Ideally, you'll have:
- Experience working as a mechanic or automotive technician
- Strong mechanical knowledge and practical skills
- The ability to work independently and manage assigned jobs
- Good attention to detail and quality workmanship
- Confidence diagnosing and resolving mechanical issues
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- A current driver's licence
An automotive trade qualification is preferred. Experience with diesel 4WDs, turbochargers, performance modifications, fabrication or aftermarket accessories is highly regarded, but not essential.
Why join Sunshine Coast Diesel Tuning?
- Interesting work: Spend more time working on performance upgrades, modified vehicles and specialist mechanical projects rather than repetitive servicing.
- Great earning potential: Full-time employment paying $40-$55 per hour plus super, depending on experience and ability.
- Modern specialist workshop: Work alongside professional diagnostic and tuning equipment, including our AWD Dyno Dynamics chassis dyno.
- Independence and responsibility: We value experienced tradespeople and give capable mechanics the opportunity to take ownership of their work without unnecessary micromanagement.
- Opportunity to develop your skills: Gain more exposure to diesel performance, mechanical upgrades, tuning-related diagnostics and custom vehicle builds.
- Be part of a growing business: Join an expanding specialist workshop with opportunities for the right person to develop alongside the business.
Employment options:
- Full-Time Mechanic - $40-$55/hr + Super
- Subcontractor - $80-$100/hr
We're looking for someone who wants to become a valued part of our workshop and help grow our mechanical and performance installation services. Sound like something you'd enjoy? Whether you're already working in performance vehicles or you're an experienced mechanic wanting to move into more interesting automotive work, we'd like to hear from you.
You don't need an impressive résumé or a long cover letter. Tell us a little about your experience, the vehicles you've worked on and why the position interests you.
