A new opportunity has become available for an experienced mechanic who is an expert at diagnosing faults, repairing, and servicing a wide variety of turf-related machinery and equipment. This could include machinery such as our late-model John Deere and Fendt tractors, Trimax, TMC Cancela, Redexim, Bomford, and McConnell tractor implements, as well as Toro and Jacobsen ride-on mowers.
You will mainly work on machinery in our large workshop and occasionally attend breakdowns to complete servicing and repairs on our work sites. Completing regular inspections and services as part of the Maintenance Schedule is required, as well as ensuring documentation is completed for all repairs, maintenance, and service records.
You will have the ability to self-manage and work independently, as well as be an integral part of our Mechanical team. Cultural fit is as important to us as your technical ability. Team cooperation, willingness to help others learn and grow, and promoting safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are all part of our working day at GSL.
You will need to be a natural problem-solver with a solutions-based mindset. The ability to perform multiple tasks effectively, with a focus on timeliness and responsiveness, is essential. As one of the key contacts in the workshop, you will provide essential support for internal customers, understanding their requirements and explaining technical terms as needed.
