Job Description

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This truck dealership workshop in Pinetown needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is in Pinetown (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

  • Repair gearboxes, differentials and clutches on heavy vehicles
  • Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
  • Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing
  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Service trucks and trailers on the planned maintenance schedule
  • Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage

Must-haves

  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
  • Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence and PrDP, ID copy with a recent certification stamp plus diesel mechanic trade certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

  • Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
