You’ll work on a mix of small and large IC (petrol/LPG and diesel) and electric forklifts, splitting your time between customer sites and our Mangere workshop.

What you’ll bring * At least 3 years’ technical/mechanical experience (diesel, heavy automotive, forklifts, plant or similar). * Forklift and/or strong electrical experience is a real advantage and will be reflected in your rate. * Comfortable working independently on customer sites, as well as pitching in as part of a small team. * A can‑do mindset, good fault‑finding skills and a “no problem, we’ll sort it” approach with customers. * High standards of workmanship, safety and personal presentation. * Reliable, trustworthy, energetic and self‑motivated – you take pride in a job done right the first time. * NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa, and a full NZ driver licence. What’s in it for you * Competitive hourly rate, with overtime opportunities depending on workload + other benefits. * Sign on bonus * Permanent, full‑time role (40 hours per week) with a stable, growing, NZ‑owned company. * Modern, fully equipped service van and quality tools/support to do your best work. * Ongoing training through Mitsubishi’s technical programmes and genuine career development. * A values‑driven, family‑owned culture where you’re known by name, not just a number. If you’re an experienced Forklift Mechanic or a skilled diesel mechanic who enjoys variety, independence and working directly with customers, we’d love to hear from you.
