Job Description

The truck dealership workshop in Brackenfell 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.

The site is in Brackenfell; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts
  • Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
  • Carry out pre-roadworthy checks before the vehicle goes for COF testing

You'll need

  • Solid understanding of air brake systems
  • At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits

Nice if you have

  • Brand-specific heavy vehicle courses
  • PrDP for road tests with loaded vehicles
  • Hydraulic systems training

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  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): diesel mechanic trade certificate plus Code 14 licence and PrDP.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.
