Workshop & Service Tyre Fitters
WE'RE NOT YOUR AVERAGE TYRE SHOP
Forget everything you think you know about tyre jobs. We're Darra Tyres – a family business that's been keeping Brisbane rolling for decades, and we're about to shift into overdrive. While other shops are stuck in the past, we're revolutionising the game.
THE REALITY CHECK: Many tyre shops think it's all about being the cheapest. That's garbage. We're about being the BEST. Quality rubber, real expertise, and getting the job done right the first time.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR DEFINITELY NOT A SUIT-AND-TIE OPERATION
We need someone who gets it. Someone who knows the difference between a radial and a bias-ply without Googling it. Someone who can look at a worn tyre and tell a story about how that driver's been treating their ride.
YOU'RE THE RIGHT FIT IF:
You've got grease under your fingernails and you're proud of it
You can handle a tyre iron like it's an extension of your arm
You don't need a manual to figure out what's wrong with a wheel
You can talk to a truckie and a soccer mum with equal respect
You show up when you say you will (seriously, this shouldn't be revolutionary, but here we are)
You're not afraid of heavy lifting – we're talking truck tyres, not just passenger car rubber
BONUS POINTS IF:
You've got a forklift licence (but we can sort that out if you don't)
You know your way around wheel alignment
You can spot a dodgy tyre from across the workshop
You've worked with everything from lawn mower tyres to earthmover monsters
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING THE REAL DEAL
This isn't some corporate nonsense where you'll be filling out forms all day. You'll be:
Getting Your Hands Dirty:
Fitting tyres on everything from hatchbacks to heavy haulers
Balancing wheels until they spin like a fidget spinner
Fixing punctures that would make other shops throw in the towel
Running the workshop like you own it
Being the Expert:
Telling customers the truth about their tyres (even when they don't want to hear it)
Recommending the right rubber for the job, not just the most expensive
Solving problems that Google can't answer
Making sure every tyre that leaves here is road-ready
Building Something Real:
Working with a team that actually has your back
Learning from people who've been in the game longer than you've been alive (just kidding we aren't that old)
Growing your skills without sitting through boring PowerPoint presentations
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU WE PUT OUR MONEY WHERE OUR MOUTH IS
The Package:
Competitive pay that reflects your skills (not some corporate formula) - Our current service fitters are earning $70,000+
Overtime when you want it (we normally work 730am to 430pm Monday to Friday, Rostered Saturdays 7am - 12noon), time off when you need it
Training that actually teaches you something useful
The Environment:
Modern workshop with gear that works
Team that knows what they're doing
Customers who appreciate quality work
Family business that treats you like family (the good kind)
The Growth:
Learn from the best in the business
Get certified without the classroom torture
Advance based on what you can do, not what's on your resume
Be part of something that's going places
THE STRAIGHT TALK WHAT WE'RE NOT:
A corporate machine that treats you like a number
A place where you'll be bored out of your mind
Somewhere that cuts corners to save a buck
A stepping stone job with no future
WHAT WE ARE:
A business that's been around long enough to know what works (Over 35 years)
A team that takes pride in quality work
A place where your experience matters more than your education
The kind of operation where you can build a real career (our longest employees are over 10 years)
THE DETAILS
WHEN AND WHERE:
Monday to Friday, 7:30 AM start (when the real work gets done)
Saturday rostered 7am - 12noon (more money in your pocket)
Darra location & various customer sites – easy to get to, plenty of parking
Immediate start for the right person
WHAT YOU NEED:
Current Manual driver's licence (obviously)
Ability to lift heavy stuff (without whinging about it)
Common sense (surprisingly rare these days)
Work ethic that doesn't need supervision, you're an adult and we will treat you as such.
READY TO STOP WASTING YOUR TIME?
If you're sick of jobs that don't challenge you, bosses who don't get it, and workplaces that treat you like you're replaceable – let's talk.
We're not looking for someone who needs their hand held. We want someone who can walk into our workshop & Service Trucks and make it better just by being there.
THINK YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES?
Don't send us some fancy cover letter written by ChatGPT. Tell us:
What you know about tyres
What you've done that proves you can handle this job
Why you're not happy where you are now

SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY
We don't have time for tyre kickers (pun intended). If you're ready to work with a team that knows what they're doing and get paid properly for your skills, we want to hear from you.
NOTE: Never make payment to any employer, person, company, contractor or agency to get hired for a Job.
