Job Description

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.
