Heavy Diesel Mechanic Wanted – Come Get Your Hands Dirty (In a Good Way)
Drill Force kicked off back in 2008 and hasn’t stopped drilling holes (professionally) since. We’re one of New Zealand’s most diversified drilling contractors, running everything from helicopter-portable rigs to barge, truck, and track-mounted gear. If it drills, we probably own it.
Now we’re on the hunt for a legendary Heavy Diesel Mechanic who knows their way around tools and isn’t afraid of a bit of mud, grease, or travel.
What’s in it for you?
- Work on a seriously cool range of equipment (no boring same-same days)
- Competitive pay that matches your skills
- Fortnightly pay (because waiting a month is cruel)
- A mix of workshop and outdoor work across the North Island
- Job security with a solid, established company
- Training & upskilling (we like people who want to level up)
- PPE gear supplied – we’ve got you covered
- Regular safety meetings… and team BBQs
What we’re looking for:
- Can speak English clearly (swearing optional, clarity required)
- Own hand tools (you know the drill)
- Drug-free – pre-employment & random testing applies
- Qualified and experienced Heavy Diesel / Automotive Truck Mechanic
- Full Class 1 licence (Class 2–5 = gold star)
- Keen, motivated, and ready to learn
- Quality-focused – “no breakdowns” is the dream
- Safety-first mindset
- Happy to work 50+ hours a week (overtime available)
- Can work on-site, off-site, and without someone holding your hand
- Team player, punctual, and shows initiative
- Must be living in NZ and be a citizen or permanent resident
If you like variety, solid hours, good people, and machinery that actually makes you say “that’s pretty cool”, Drill Force might just be your next move
