We’re looking for a hands-on Diesel & Petrol Mechanic who knows their way around engines, not just in theory, but in the dust, the heat, and the real world where things actually break. This role requires someone who is neat, tidy and always ready when needed. Own tools are essential.
This role is based in Williston, a small but steadily growing town where living costs are exceptionally low!!
The position pays a basic salary + commission. Potential to earn high commission earnings.

What You’ll Be Doing
Keeping a mixed fleet of bakkies, tractors, trailers, and farm machinery running like they should
Diagnosing faults properly (no guesswork, no shortcuts)
Handling breakdowns quickly and efficiently to keep operations moving
Performing routine servicing and preventative maintenance
Managing your tools, your workspace, and your standards
Reporting on repairs, parts used, and bigger issues before they become disasters
Working both in the workshop and out in the field when needed
What We’re Looking For
Proven experience as a Diesel & Petrol Mechanic (non-negotiable)
Strong knowledge of both diesel and petrol engines
Experience with agricultural equipment—tractors, trailers, the works
Someone who can work independently without needing babysitting
Own tools
Valid driver’s license (Code B/EB minimum)
A trade qualification is great—but real, solid experience will speak louder.
The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
Practical. Grounded. No nonsense.
Can think on their feet when something goes wrong miles from town
Takes accountability
Understands that downtime costs money… and moves accordingly
The Reality
But if you’re good at what you do, this is the kind of role where your work actually matters.
