Company Description

Transam offers supply chains solutions that connect people, products, and places. By integrating sea and airfreight services with trucking, customs brokerage, warehousing & Container Depots under one platform, Transam delivers seamless, end-to-end logistics tailored to customer needs.

Transam has an international network of agencies in Europe, Asia and North America, with our own offices in New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Singapore, and the West Coast of the United States.

We’re seeking a qualified Heavy Diesel Mechanic with strong leadership and planning capability to take on the role of Workshop Lead. This is a hands-on leadership position responsible for managing the maintenance, repair, and engineering activities of our internal fleet (trucks, trailers, and container handlers) as well as selected external customer equipment.

Job Description

Reporting to the Transport Manager, you’ll lead a team of mechanics and work collaboratively with our Transport and Depot Operations teams to plan and manage all servicing, maintenance, and repair activities. You’ll balance hands-on mechanical work with effective leadership, workshop planning, and administration, as well as:

  • Oversee and manage all workshop operations including heavy vehicle, trailer, and container-handling equipment maintenance and repair
  • Plan and schedule servicing and repairs in coordination with Transport and Depot teams to minimise downtime and maximise efficiency
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a small team, promoting accountability, teamwork, and a strong safety culture
  • Carry out hands-on heavy diesel mechanical work as part of the team
  • Manage inventory, parts ordering, consumables, and monthly stocktakes
  • Oversee workshop safety, compliance, and housekeeping
  • Maintain accurate maintenance and service records
  • Support engineering and fabrication projects, including trailer builds and custom work
  • Liaise with suppliers and external customers, including quoting and managing external repair or fabrication requests
  • Promote and uphold Transam’s values of safety, quality, and reliability in every aspect of workshop operations

Qualifications

You’re a motivated and qualified Heavy Diesel Mechanic who takes pride in both your work and your ability to lead others. You’ll have a practical, problem-solving approach, enjoy working as part of a high-performing operations team, and know how to plan and deliver on multiple priorities. You will also have:

  • Trade qualification as a Heavy Diesel Mechanic (essential)
  • Welding experience and ideally a welding qualification (preferred)
  • Approximately 10 years’ experience in a workshop or fleet maintenance environment
  • Proven ability to plan and manage maintenance activities across multiple assets and priorities
  • Strong leadership experience managing small technical teams
  • Experience with trailers, fabrication, and trailer builds (ability to quote work is an advantage)
  • Excellent communication, time management, and problem-solving skills
  • Sound understanding of NZTA compliance and Land Transport regulations
  • A current and clean NZ Class 5 driver’s licence
  • Strong commitment to Health & Safety and a proactive, hands-on work ethic

This is a full-time permanent role based in Auckland. You will have the right to live and work in New Zealand at the time of applying. The successful candidate may be subject to undergo a Police Check and/or Pre-Employment Drug Test.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
