Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

Keep trucks on the road and earning at the long-distance trucking fleet in Pretoria East. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Pretoria East-based, with most of your time spent at a long-distance trucking fleet. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• 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
• Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
• Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage

• Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
• Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
• Solid understanding of air brake systems
• At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
• Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks

• Auto electrical skills
• PrDP for road tests with loaded vehicles

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

• List the truck and engine types you have worked on, including electronic systems. Fleet managers screen for those.
• Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
