Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This truck dealership workshop in Boksburg needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Boksburg-based, with most of your time spent at a truck dealership workshop.

• Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage
• Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
• Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
• Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
• Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
• Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing
• Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts

• Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
• Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
• Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks
• At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
• Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits

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