Fitting and fine-tuning 4x4 lift kits, GVM upgrades, lowering systems, and performance modifications

About You
To qualify, you will need a Certificate III in Light Vehicle Mechanical Technology and a valid QLD driver’s licence. A minimum of 6 months’ experience working in an Australian workshop is essential.
We also welcome applications from passionate 3rd and 4th year apprentices looking to broaden their experience in suspension and performance upgrades.
Additionally, the following skills and background will be highly valued:
Certificate IV in Automotive Mechanical Diagnosis
Suspension, underbody, or performance tuning experience
Wheel alignment and balancing expertise
Prior experience mentoring apprentices
Familiarity with aftermarket or retail auto service environments
As our ideal candidate, you’re a car enthusiast who loves variety and isn’t afraid to get hands-on with MX5s, GTRs, Porsches, and 4x4s alike. You’ll be safety-focused, a team player, and open to learning and feedback. You’ll thrive in a tight-knit crew, where Friday knock-off drinks and team bonding over 4x4 clean-up trips are the norm.
This is an ideal opportunity if you're ready to step beyond general servicing and into a role that offers technical depth, career progression, and the chance to work with some of the most exciting vehicles on Australian roads. For the right candidate, there is also long-term potential to progress into a workshop or branch leadership role — learning the Fulcrum way and growing with the company as new locations open.

$1,500 sign-on bonus (paid in two parts at 3 and 6 months)

No weekend work (optional attendance for occasional car shows or training)
Minimal overtime (time off in lieu or Award rates if required) — we prioritise safety and balance over fatigue
Relocation assistance of up to $3,000 to reimburse reasonable moving expenses negotiable for the right candidate.

Close relationship with engineers and R&D, offering a unique career path beyond standard mechanical work
Safe, supportive environment that prioritises technician wellbeing and quality workmanship over fatigue and rushed jobs
