SUMMARY:
Step into a fast-moving transport operation where tautliner and tipper trailers depend on your expertise, your standards, and your ability to run a tight, safe, high-performance workshop.

POSITION INFO:

Workshop Foreman – Tautliner and Tipper Trailers

Own the Floor. Lead the Crew. Keep the Fleet Moving.

Pretoria
R30 000 – R40 000 CTC per month

Step into a fast-moving transport operation where tautliner and tipper trailers depend on your expertise, your standards, and your ability to run a tight, safe, high-performance workshop.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isnt a sit in the office and delegate position.
This is hands-on leadership guiding teams, owning quality, driving safety, and making sure every trailer that leaves your floor is road-ready and reliable.

What you will be leading

Running and supervising both the workshop and wash bay
Managing a team: hiring, training, scheduling, delegating
Overseeing repairs & maintenance on tautliner and tipper trailers
Ensuring every job card, work order and database entry is accurate
Enforcing strict health & safety standards
Inspecting equipment, machinery and the entire workshop environment
Maintaining quality, productivity and cleanliness at all times
Rolling up your sleeves when needed, tools in hand

Requirements

Grade 12
Qualified Mechanic / similar trade
2+ years experience in a transport/logistics workshop
2+ years hands-on experience with tautliner and/or tipper trailers
Medically fit and willing to work overtime/weekends
Strong, respected leadership presence
Deep experience working on tautliner and/or side tipper trailers
A qualified mechanic background (or similar)
Ability to remain calm, decisive and organised under pressure
Clear communication verbal, written and technical
Confidence operating workshop machinery
A mindset focused on safety, structure and results

Work Environment

You will spend around 80% of your time in the workshop, 20% managing wash bay activity.

If you thrive where structure, discipline, and teamwork meet real mechanical problem-solving, youll love this environment.
