Truck Tech expands in NSW

Heavy vehicle fleet maintenance company, Truck Tech, has opened its fourth branch – a new facility in Beresfield.

The company expects to hire up to 50 mechanics and technicians at the site to help service vehicles from key customers across Northern New South Wales.

Headquartered in Chipping Norton, NSW, Truck Tech delivers maintenance support for fleets of 50 or more heavy vehicles (trucks, trailers, buses) with a team of 140 staff across four maintenance and repair centres.

“Our Newcastle branch is a key pillar in our national expansion plan,” said Truck Tech founder and CEO, Barry Saad.

“We support several major freight operators across the Hunter, and this branch will give Truck Tech stronger reach into the region, enabling faster response times for clients in Newcastle, Maitland and surrounding suburbs.

“We are also looking to tap into the local skilled workforce, many of whom live in Beresfield and nearby suburbs like Thornton, Woodberry and Tarro.

“Most importantly we’re excited to be bringing our market leading approach to heavy vehicle maintenance to the Hunter. Our goal is to have the best mechanics and field service technicians providing proactive fleet maintenance solutions to our customers.

“This new workshop enables our techs and mechanics to do their best work, repair our customers’ fleets with minimal downtime, and get them back on the road.”

Heading up the workshop will be newly appointed Branch Manager, Roger Buhagiar, who has worked as a Leading Hand for Truck Tech for two years.

“Having lived in the Hunter region for seven years, it’s a real privilege to lead Truck Tech’s Newcastle operations,” he said.

“Beresfield is the perfect base.

“It’s right on the transport corridor, close to our customers, and part of a community I know well.

“I’m excited to be building a strong team of dedicated, well-trained technicians, managing this new branch and workshop, and serving the needs of our customers’ fleets across Newcastle, Maitland and the Hunter.”
