Diesel / Automotive Mechanic
Maintain and repair cars, trucks and specialist vehicles.
 |
Eric Taylor is an apprentice diesel mechanic - "My main job is in maintaining and servicing the council fleet of vehicles. Before I worked at Launceston City Council I didn’t realize that Council even had a workshop or crews. I’ve always been interested in mechanical things, I did metalwork and woodwork at school and a pre-vocational course in automotive. I did work experience in the area which all helped me get the apprenticeship I was after. The thing I love most about my job is the satisfaction you get when you have to suss out how to fix a vehicle and you get it going again. That’s great." |
