Automotive Technician Jobs

Automotive technician jobs are in steady demand across dealerships, franchise workshops, fleet operators, and specialist service centres. From diesel mechanics to auto electricians, employers need qualified technicians to keep vehicles, trucks, and machinery running smoothly. Roles are available nationwide, with opportunities in both light and heavy automotive sectors.

Day-to-day work

On a typical day, automotive technicians carry out servicing, repairs, and preventive maintenance on vehicles. Many roles include diagnosing faults with OEM diagnostic tools, repairing diesel engines or electrical systems, and troubleshooting hydraulic and mechanical components. Keeping accurate service and repair records, along with ensuring vehicles meet safety checks, is also a core part of the job.

Career progression

Careers as an automotive technician can progress into senior or specialist roles, including diagnostic experts, workshop foremen, and auto electrical specialists. With experience, technicians can move into management positions such as service manager or workshop manager. Many employers also offer ongoing training to keep technicians up to date with new technologies, including EV and ADAS systems.

Skills employers look for

Employers value a trade qualification in automotive or heavy diesel, along with proven hands-on repair and servicing experience. Strong diagnostic and problem-solving ability is highly sought after, as well as knowledge of electrical and hydraulic systems. Soft skills matter too — attention to detail, communication, and the ability to work independently or as part of a team are key.
