At EmployMe Solutions, we do things a little differently – because we know technicians deserve more than just a bench and a toolbox. We match experienced tradespeople with employers who actually walk the talk – offering stability, development, and a workplace where you’ll be appreciated for what you bring to the floor.

We’re looking for a qualified Automotive Technician to join a high-performing, fast-paced site in Wellington. This is a dynamic workshop that hums with activity, driven by a team who take pride in getting the job done right, and enjoying the ride while they do it.

What you’ll be doing:
  • Diagnosing, servicing, and repairing a range of light vehicles – efficiently and accurately
  • Using the latest diagnostics equipment to solve problems
  • Develop and maintain good working relationships with employees and other departments to establish a positive workplace culture
  • Working closely with a team that backs each other
  • Perform routine and repair work on vehicles in a way that ensures prompt and accurate diagnoses of vehicle problems and service requirements
  • To identify faults & test-drive company and customer vehicles safely
  • Work with Service and Parts Advisors to ensure a smooth repair and service of all vehicles, while delivering the highest level of customer satisfaction in order to drive business for the service department and the company overall
  • Upskilling themselves to keep up to date with the latest in procedures, repairs and product knowledge
  • Maintaining a full understanding of servicing schedules and the requirements
  • Completing all formal company and manufacturing required technical training
What we’re looking for:
  • Relevant NZQF Level 4 Motor trade qualification (or international equivalent) OR at least 3 years’ experience as an Automotive technician
  • Confidence working across a range of makes and models
  • Sound fault-finding and diagnostic experience
  • Proficient computer skills with good written and verbal communication
  • Quality attention to detail in recording vehicle information, concentrating on getting it right the first time
  • Someone who’s just as comfortable with a scan tool as a spanner
  • A team player with a reliable, can-do attitude – your word counts here
  • Full NZ driver’s licence 
What’s in it for you?
  • Full-time, permanent work offering 40 hours per week in a genuinely busy and respected workshop
  • Up-to-date tools, tech, and a modern workspace
  • Career growth pathways – whether it’s team leadership or master tech level
  • Regular brand training and development support
  • Strong team culture where your experience is recognised – and rewarded
  • Competitive hourly rate of $37 - $42 per hour + overtime options
  • Optional overtime available if you're keen to boost your earnings
This is the kind of role where Monday mornings don’t feel like a drag – because you’re part of a team that’s got your back, and leadership that knows good technicians don’t grow on trees.

Ready to bring your skills somewhere they’ll be noticed?
Send your CV to joann@employmesolutions.com  Or give us a call at 0800 369 777 – or reach out directly to Jo-Ann on 027 777 2979 for a confidential chat.
We’ll get back to you within 24 business hours – because we know your skills are valuable.
