Job Description

Keep trucks on the road and earning at the agricultural equipment dealer in Germiston. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system

  • Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts

You'll need

  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks

Helpful, not essential

  • Auto electrical skills
  • Brand-specific heavy vehicle courses

What you get

  • Provident fund and funeral cover
  • Standby and call-out allowance
  • Heavy-duty tools supplied by the workshop
  • Overtime available most weeks
