    • Stihl Shop Timaru is a well-established and highly regarded Outdoor Power Equipment retailer and service centre located in Washdyke, Timaru. As our workload continues to grow, we're looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Apprentice Mechanic to join our friendly and experienced team.

    Why Join Us?

    You'll be part of a modern, well-equipped workshop servicing and retailing some of the most trusted brands in the industry - including Stihl, Masport, Rover, Cub Cadet, Hustler, Hansa, and Stiga.

    This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to start or develop their career in mechanical engineering and outdoor power equipment. You'll gain practical, hands-on experience while working alongside experienced technicians and completing your apprenticeship.

    We value growth, teamwork, and genuine pride in what we do, and we're looking for someone who shares those values.

    What You'll Bring

    We're seeking someone who has:
    • A genuine interest in mechanics, machinery, and Outdoor Power Equipment
    • A willingness to learn and develop new skills
    • A strong work ethic and a positive attitude
    • Good practical and problem-solving skills
    • The ability to work well both independently and as part of a team
    • Good time management and communication skills
    • A commitment to completing an apprenticeship and building a long-term career in the industry
    Previous mechanical experience is an advantage but is not essential - we're more interested in your attitude, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn.

    Who You Are

    You're hands-on, practical, and enjoy finding out how things work. You take pride in doing a job properly and aren't afraid to get stuck in and learn from experienced people around you.

    You enjoy solving problems, working with tools, and developing new skills. You may be just starting your career or looking for an opportunity to turn your interest in mechanics into a trade.

    If you're reliable, motivated, keen to learn, and looking for a career rather than just a job, we'd love to hear from you.

    Sound Like You?

    If you're ready to start your career and gain valuable hands-on experience with a supportive and experienced team, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

    Bring your enthusiasm, commitment, and willingness to learn - we'll help you develop the technical skills and knowledge to become a qualified mechanic.
