Fix it right the first time: that is the job at this fleet maintenance workshop in Bethlehem. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The work, day to day

  • Replace clutches, brake pads, discs, shocks and timing belts

  • Carry out scheduled services to the manufacturer's checklist and interval
  • Coach the apprentice on your bay through basic services
  • Diagnose engine, ABS and airbag faults with an OBD-II diagnostic scanner
  • Write clear job card notes on what you found and what you fixed

You'll need

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

What you get
