Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

The long-distance trucking fleet in Pretoria East needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

• Service trucks and trailers on the planned maintenance schedule
• Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
• Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
• Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
• Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage
• Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts

• Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits

• Solid understanding of air brake systems
• Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
• Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs

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