Job Description

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This truck dealership workshop in Rustenburg needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

The work, day to day

  • Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts
  • Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing
  • Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
  • Service trucks and trailers on the planned maintenance schedule

You'll need

  • Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits
  • Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks
  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
  • At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate

Nice if you have

  • Auto electrical skills
  • Hydraulic systems training
  • PrDP for road tests with loaded vehicles

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: diesel mechanic trade certificate, ID copy with a recent certification stamp plus Code 14 licence and PrDP.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
  • Mention roadside or field experience. Many fleets need mechanics who can work alone at a breakdown.
