For international employers · Heavy Equipment & Transport
Falisha Manpower recruits mechanics from Pakistan for transport and logistics fleets, construction and plant-hire contractors, vehicle dealers and service centres, oil-field service companies, and utilities or facilities operators that run standby generators — from a few workshop mechanics to a complete maintenance team for a new fleet contract. We are a BEOE-licensed Overseas Employment Promoter (OEP Licence No. 4035), so the whole route runs inside Pakistan’s regulated overseas employment system: sourcing, practical trade testing, Saudi skill verification where the occupation is notified, medicals, visa documentation and Protector of Emigrants clearance.
“Mechanic” on a CV can mean a car-workshop technician, a truck mechanic who overhauls diesel engines and gearboxes, or a plant fitter who keeps excavators and loaders running on a remote site. Each works on different systems with different tools, and a mismatch shows up quickly as downtime. So we begin with your asset list — vehicle and machine types, engine families, model years and the diagnostic software your workshop uses — and with whether the work happens in a fixed workshop or out in the field, and we recruit against that rather than the job title.
Shortlisted mechanics are then assessed on the work itself: diagnosing faults on a running engine or vehicle system, carrying out a service or component repair to procedure, and interpreting the gauges, scan data and manuals your technicians rely on. Tests are arranged at an approved trade-test centre or workshop in Pakistan, and your workshop manager can observe them. You interview and select; we coordinate the documents and mobilisation to your fleet or contract start.
Roles & specialisations
Matched to your specification and the work itself, not just a job title.
Service and repair cars, SUVs, pick-ups and light vans — engines, clutches and gearboxes, suspension and steering, brakes and cooling systems. Dealer-trained mechanics are used to manufacturer service schedules and warranty paperwork; independent-workshop mechanics often cover a wider spread of makes and ages.
Maintain medium and heavy trucks, tractor units, tippers, tankers and buses: diesel engines, fuel injection, turbochargers, air brakes, clutches, multi-speed gearboxes, axles and hub reductions. On recent trucks the job increasingly includes electronically managed engines and exhaust after-treatment systems.
Keep excavators, wheel loaders, dozers, graders, rollers, mobile cranes and forklifts working on construction, quarry and port sites. The work combines diesel engines with hydraulic pumps, control valves, cylinders, undercarriage and final drives, usually from a field-service vehicle rather than a workshop bay.
Trace faults in vehicle wiring, starting and charging systems, lighting, sensors and electronic control units using multimeters, wiring diagrams and scan tools. On trucks and plant they also work on 24-volt systems, CAN-bus networks and machine monitoring displays.
Service and overhaul stationary and mobile diesel generator sets, engine-driven pumps and compressors: routine engine maintenance, governors, fuel and cooling systems, load-bank testing and the engine side of automatic changeover. Needed by utilities, telecom tower operators, hospitals, labour camps and oil-field sites.
Strip, rebuild and set up manual and automatic gearboxes, torque converters, differentials and power take-offs, or diagnose hydraulic circuits with pressure and flow testing. Fleets and plant-hire companies with a major-component rebuild shop treat this as a distinct skill.
Carry out daily and periodic services, lubrication, filter changes, tyre fitting and rotation, pressure checks, wheel-nut torque and battery care across a large fleet — the high-volume preventive work that keeps vehicles off the breakdown list.
Work from a service truck, attending breakdowns on highways, construction sites and remote yards. They diagnose with a limited toolkit, decide whether to repair on the spot or recover the vehicle, and report clearly back to the workshop.
Plan workshop loading and preventive-maintenance schedules, allocate jobs, check repair quality, control parts and special tools, keep job cards and maintenance-system records up to date, and lead mechanics, auto electricians and helpers.
Before you hire
The distinctions that decide whether a hire works on your project.
A workshop mechanic has a lift, a parts store, special tools and a supervisor close by. A field-service mechanic works alone from a vehicle on a site or roadside, often in heat and dust, and must judge what can be fixed there and then. Plenty of capable workshop mechanics are not ready for that independence, so tell us where the work happens and the assessment is set up to test for it.
Mechanical principles carry over, but a mechanic who has spent years on mechanically injected engines needs time on common-rail engines with electronic management and after-treatment, and plant experience on one manufacturer’s hydraulics does not fully transfer to another. Send us the makes and model years you run; where you name OEM brands that your fleet depends on, we screen specifically for that exposure.
On modern vehicles many faults are electrical or electronic — sensors, harnesses, control units and the networks between them. Mechanics handle a good deal of this with a scan tool, but intermittent wiring faults, retrofits and multiplexed systems usually justify a dedicated auto electrician. Plan the ratio of mechanics to auto electricians deliberately rather than leaving it to the CVs that arrive.
Specify what your workshop uses: generic OBD scan tools for light vehicles, heavy-duty adapters that read the SAE J1939 network on trucks and plant, or the manufacturer’s own dealer software. Familiarity with the same platform shortens induction, but the deeper skill is interpreting live data and fault codes rather than simply reading them out — and that is what the trade test should probe.
Fleet availability depends as much on intervals kept, inspections recorded and defects reported early as on repair skill. If you run a planned-maintenance programme in a CMMS or fleet-management system, say so; we look for mechanics who have worked to service intervals and job cards, and we build a service routine into the practical test.
Your requirement
The more precise the brief, the more precise the shortlist. Anything you are unsure of, we work out with you.
Standards & qualifications
Qualifications, codes and licences candidates may hold or be assessed against — you decide which apply.
Candidates may hold a three-year Diploma of Associate Engineering in auto and diesel — listed in Punjab as Mechanical Technology (Power) with specialisation in Auto & Diesel — a one- or two-year vocational certificate such as Auto Mechanic, Auto Electrician or Auto & Diesel Mechanic, or a National Vocational Certificate in Automobile Technology under NAVTTC’s qualifications framework. We treat these as evidence of training and check them against real workshop experience.
Auto Mechanic, Auto Electrician and Heavy Equipment Technician are among the trades listed for the Skill Verification Program that NAVTTC runs in Pakistan with Saudi Takamol. Verification is mandatory only for occupations Takamol has notified, so the occupation on the visa decides whether it applies. The assessment is conducted at an approved test centre, not by the recruiter.
Light vehicles report fault codes and live data through the on-board diagnostics (OBD) port; trucks, buses, plant and many generator sets use the SAE J1939 vehicle network. Hands-on experience with diagnostic tools on the relevant protocol is a practical indicator of how far a mechanic can go beyond mechanical repair.
Some candidates hold training certificates from vehicle, engine or equipment manufacturers, or have worked in authorised dealer workshops. These show exposure to a product range and its service procedures, but they are not a licence, so we confirm the skills in the practical test.
In EU member states, Regulation (EU) 2024/573 requires anyone who maintains, services or repairs air-conditioning containing fluorinated gases in cars and light commercial vehicles — and in heavy-duty vehicles, vans and non-road machinery used in agriculture, mining and construction — to hold at least a training attestation. If the role includes vehicle A/C, plan how mechanics will obtain one in the member state.
Assessment
Arranged to your criteria before you interview, so you evaluate ability rather than a CV.
We compare work history and experience letters with your makes, engine families and settings, and ask candidates to talk through repairs they have done — a turbocharger replacement, a gearbox rebuild, a hydraulic leak traced to its source. Specific, sequenced answers separate hands-on mechanics from helpers who watched.
At an approved trade-test centre or workshop, faults are set on a running engine, vehicle or trainer — for example a failed sensor, a fuel-delivery problem, a charging fault or an air-brake leak — and the candidate locates them with a scan tool, multimeter and gauges, explaining each reading along the way.
A timed task matched to the role: a full service against an inspection checklist, a brake overhaul, a clutch or injector replacement, or for plant roles a hydraulic hose and component change followed by a pressure check — judged on correct torque, cleanliness and use of the workshop manual.
For auto electricians and diagnostic roles, candidates read a wiring diagram, test a starting and charging circuit, find a deliberately introduced wiring fault and interpret live data and fault codes from the vehicle network.
Questions on safe lifting and jacking, isolating vehicle and machine energy including stored hydraulic pressure, and working around hot engines and pressurised tyres. Your workshop manager, a nominated third party or a live video link can observe any part; for Saudi-bound mechanics in notified occupations, skill verification is booked separately at an approved centre.
How it works
From your requirement to workers on site.
We go through your asset list, scope, diagnostic tools, work setting, crew mix, visa occupation and start date, and agree with you what the practical test has to show.
We search our candidate database and sourcing network for mechanics whose verified experience matches your vehicles and equipment — dealer workshops, transport fleets, plant-hire yards, generator service — rather than anyone with “mechanic” on the CV.
Experience letters, qualifications and, where a service vehicle is involved, driving licences are verified, and profiles that do not fit the fleet are set aside before testing is booked.
Shortlisted mechanics complete the diagnosis, repair and safety tasks at an approved centre or workshop, with your representative attending or following remotely if you choose.
Your workshop manager or fleet engineer questions the candidates who passed about your makes, typical failures and maintenance routines, then confirms the selection. Interviews can be held online, or face to face when your team visits Pakistan.
For Saudi-bound mechanics in a notified occupation, the skill verification test is scheduled early at an approved centre so the result is in hand well before departure. Each selected mechanic also completes the medical the destination demands — GCC-approved where that applies — while we assemble attested documents and the work-visa application under the right occupation title.
BEOE registration and Protector of Emigrants clearance are completed for each mechanic — a legal step for every Pakistani worker taking up employment abroad.
Arrivals follow your contract start or fleet delivery — often a foreman and core workshop team first, then field-service mechanics and auto electricians as vehicles and machines enter service.
Sourcing
Pakistan assembles cars, trucks and tractors locally, and vehicles of many makes and ages are kept running through dealer workshops and independent repairers. Many mechanics therefore learn on both mechanically governed and electronically managed engines; we verify which, case by case.
Auto and diesel DAE programmes, one- and two-year vocational certificates for auto mechanics, auto electricians and diesel mechanics, and NAVTTC national vocational certificates in automobile technology give employers qualifications that can be checked — alongside the hands-on experience we verify.
Because candidates find and fix set faults before you meet them, your workshop managers spend interview time on mechanics who have already found and fixed the faults set for them.
Pay & terms
Mechanics’ pay is set by the employer and written into the employment contract. It tends to follow the complexity of the equipment and the independence of the role — heavy-equipment, transmission, diagnostic and auto-electrical specialists, and field-service mechanics who work alone on remote sites, are usually paid more than general light-vehicle or service technicians — together with overtime, breakdown call-out arrangements and whether accommodation, transport and food are provided or paid as allowances.
Field and remote roles raise questions that workshop roles do not: rotation schedules, camp accommodation, use of a service vehicle and pay for on-call periods. Settle these before recruitment starts, along with who provides hand tools. We can also discuss how your offer compares with what experienced mechanics expect; specialists in plant hydraulics and electronic diagnostics tend to decline packages that undervalue those skills.
No mechanic should be charged unlawful recruitment fees. Pay, allowances, hours, tool provision and on-call terms belong in the written employment contract, which is part of the documentation reviewed during emigration processing.
Compliance & trust
Falisha Manpower recruits under Overseas Employment Promoter Licence No. 4035, issued by the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment (BEOE), Government of Pakistan.
Every selected worker is processed through BEOE and Protector of Emigrants formalities before departure — the legal route for Pakistani workers taking overseas employment.
Workers are not charged unlawful fees and their passports are not retained. Terms are documented in the employment contract before travel.
You set the specification and the acceptance criteria, and you make every final hiring decision — we source, coordinate, document and mobilise.
Read our quality policy, anti-trafficking statement, or report recruitment fraud. Licence status can be checked with the BEOE.
