Master Technician (Premium Brand Dealership)

Fix it right the first time: that is the job at this used car dealership workshop in Kariega. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Kariega. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Do wheel alignments and balancing on the alignment bay
• Replace clutches, brake pads, discs, shocks and timing belts
• Write clear job card notes on what you found and what you fixed
• Update control unit software when the manufacturer releases a campaign
• Road test vehicles before and after repairs
• Quote extra work you find and pass it to the service advisor for approval
• Carry out roadworthy pre-checks on lights, brakes and steering

• At least 3 years as a qualified mechanic in a dealership or workshop
• Able to meet flat-rate or sold-hour targets
