<strong>Automotive</strong><br />
trades<br />
Would you like to …<br />
• Work as a motor mechanic, panel beater, auto electrician or vehicle paint refinisher in automotive workshops, detailing, repairing,<br />
maintaining and testing cars, motorbikes, trucks, buses, earthmoving and agricultural machines?<br />
• Work in the vehicle manufacture industry (truck, bus and trailer), building and modifying cars and other vehicles undertaking<br />
welding, fabrication and assembly techniques, painting and component installation?<br />
• Become a specialist in a particular automotive area, such as electrical systems, bodywork, hydraulics, engine systems, heavy<br />
machinery or heavy goods vehicles?<br />
• Work as a mechanic in the transport or resources industries?<br />
• Manage a smash repair or other automotive workshop, providing customer service to clients, keeping records, processing testing,<br />
checking data and supervising other people?<br />
Did you know …<br />
• The automotive industry is one of the largest in Australia, employing 34,100 assemblers, 9,300 auto electricians, 98,000<br />
mechanics and 19,500 parts and accessory fitters in 2010.<br />
• Most people in the light vehicle industry work full-time (over 90%) and average weekly earnings are between $797 and $972<br />
before tax. Qualified and skilled heavy vehicle mechanics can earn in excess of $100,000 per year.<br />
• There is currently a shortage of both automotive electricians and motor mechanics in NSW and nationally, and a shortage of<br />
fitters in NSW. The current mining boom has opened up many new job prospects in heavy vehicle maintenance and SWSi provides<br />
great opportunities for students to train in and work on large mining equipment currently used in the mining industry.<br />
