Job Description

The truck dealership workshop in Midrand needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Midrand (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Record parts used and hours worked on the fleet system
  • Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts
  • Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
  • Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage

You'll need

  • At least 3 years on heavy commercial vehicles or plant
  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
  • Diesel mechanic trade test certificate
  • Physically fit for work under trucks and on pits

Nice if you have

  • PrDP for road tests with loaded vehicles
  • Auto electrical skills

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Midrand really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 14 licence and PrDP, diesel mechanic trade certificate 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. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Your Code 14 is a big plus. Put it right below your name, not at the bottom of the CV.
  • Mention roadside or field experience. Many fleets need mechanics who can work alone at a breakdown.
