Job Description

You'll service and repair heavy diesel vehicles for the truck dealership workshop in Tembisa. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at a truck dealership workshop in Tembisa. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Repair gearboxes, differentials and clutches on heavy vehicles
  • Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
  • Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
  • Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
  • Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing
  • Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage

Must-haves

  • Solid understanding of air brake systems
  • At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs

Nice if you have

  • Hydraulic systems training
  • PrDP for road tests with loaded vehicles

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence and PrDP plus ID copy with a recent certification stamp.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
