Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

R 30,750 - 39,000 per month
Full-time

How2Apply Talent Network

This position requires local presence. Please view similar jobs below.

Keep trucks on the road and earning at the municipal bus depot in Randburg. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Randburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Fault-find AdBlue and aftertreatment systems on newer engines
  • Attend roadside breakdowns in the service truck
  • Overhaul brake systems, including air valves, chambers and slack adjusters
  • Diagnose electronic engine faults with a heavy-duty diagnostic laptop
  • Repair gearboxes, differentials and clutches on heavy vehicles
  • Inspect tyres, fifth wheels and kingpins for wear and damage
  • Repair hydraulics on tippers, cranes and tail-lifts

What you need

  • Experience with electronic diagnostics on modern diesel engines
  • Willing to do standby and roadside call-outs
  • Solid understanding of air brake systems
  • Code 14 licence so you can move and test trucks

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): diesel mechanic trade certificate plus ID copy with a recent certification stamp.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Randburg.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Mention roadside or field experience. Many fleets need mechanics who can work alone at a breakdown.
  • List the truck and engine types you have worked on, including electronic systems. Fleet managers screen for those.
