Job Description

This fleet maintenance workshop in Kempton Park needs a qualified mechanic who can handle services, repairs and electrical faults. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Kempton Park. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Update control unit software when the manufacturer releases a campaign
  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services
  • Diagnose engine, ABS and airbag faults with an OBD-II diagnostic scanner
  • Replace clutches, brake pads, discs, shocks and timing belts
  • Road test vehicles before and after repairs
  • Write clear job card notes on what you found and what you fixed

Must-haves

  • Neat with customer vehicles: seat covers, floor mats and no grease marks
  • Motor mechanic trade test certificate (Red Seal) or occupational certificate at NQF 4
  • Code 08 licence so you can road test cars
  • Your own basic toolbox
  • Able to meet flat-rate or sold-hour targets
  • Confident with diagnostic scan tools and wiring diagrams

What you get

  • Manufacturer training courses paid by the dealer
  • Productivity bonus on sold hours above target
  • Tool allowance or tool insurance
  • Staff discount on parts and services
