Hire Resolve is looking for an experienced Line Boring Technician to take on precision machining and bore restoration work on heavy-duty equipment in Middelburg. This permanent specialist role suits a trade-qualified technician who can work independently, read technical specifications accurately and deliver repairs that meet strict quality standards. The advert was posted on 29 October 2026 and runs for 32 days, so there is a reasonable window to prepare a strong application.
Hire Resolve is a recruitment agency working across South Africa, connecting businesses with skilled and experienced professionals in fields that include engineering, mining, IT, finance, manufacturing, construction, supply chain, logistics and renewable energy. The agency places people at every level, from entry-level and skilled roles through to management, senior and executive appointments, and works with employers in major centres including Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Gqeberha and Bloemfontein.
The work itself is hands-on and technical. The successful candidate will perform precision machining and bore restoration on heavy-duty equipment, making sure every repair meets the required specifications and quality standards. It is a role for someone who is already work-ready: the advert is clear that training will not be provided, so practical experience in line boring and bore welding is essential from day one.
The advertised key responsibilities are: perform on-site and workshop-based line boring operations on heavy machinery and equipment; carry out bore welding, bore restoration and precision machining to repair worn or damaged components; inspect, measure and assess components to determine the extent of wear, damage and required repairs; operate line boring equipment, welding equipment and associated precision machining tools; use micrometers and other precision measuring instruments to ensure accurate measurements and tolerances; perform machining and repair work in accordance with technical specifications and quality requirements; diagnose mechanical issues and identify appropriate repair methods; ensure all completed work meets the required standards for accuracy, functionality and durability; conduct equipment checks and ensure tools and machinery are maintained in good working condition; adhere to workplace health and safety procedures when working with machinery, tools and heavy equipment; complete assigned work within agreed timeframes while maintaining high standards of workmanship; work independently and demonstrate sound technical judgement when resolving operational challenges; and be available to work overtime when required to meet operational and project deadlines.
The advert states a salary range of R41,700 – R516,700 per month. That is an unusually wide range as written, so readers should confirm the exact pay on offer on the original advert before applying, rather than assuming a figure within it.
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here: a relevant trade qualification as a Turner, Fitter and Turner, or Machinist, with qualified Welders who have substantial, directly relevant line boring and bore welding experience also able to be considered; approximately 5 years of hands-on experience in line boring, bore welding, precision machining and heavy machinery repairs; proven practical experience in bore repairs, restoration and machining of heavy-duty equipment; experience working with precision measuring instruments, particularly micrometers; exposure to mining equipment, heavy machinery or industrial equipment, which will be advantageous; ability to interpret technical specifications and work to precise measurements and tolerances; a valid driver’s licence; being medically fit and able to perform the physical requirements of the position; willingness to work overtime when required; ability to work independently with minimal supervision; and a reliable, safety-conscious and professional approach to work. No other qualifications are stated, so none are added here.
Use the Apply button on this page, which leads directly to the original CareerJunction advert for this role. Apply only through that original listing, and be cautious of anyone who contacts you separately asking for payment or personal banking details in exchange for this job.
Before applying, gather evidence of your line boring and bore welding work, especially examples where you restored worn components on heavy machinery to tight tolerances. Mention the measuring instruments you use confidently, including micrometers, and be ready to describe how you diagnose wear and choose a repair method. If you hold a trade qualification as a Turner, Fitter and Turner or Machinist, make that prominent, and note any mining or heavy industrial equipment experience. Make sure your driver’s licence details are current, and be honest about your availability for overtime, since the role requires it at times.
Applications go through the original CareerJunction advert, where the recruiter will review submissions. Shortlisted candidates can expect to be assessed on their practical experience and trade background, and may be asked to discuss previous bore repair work in detail. Keep an eye on your email and phone after applying, and respond promptly if the recruiter gets in touch.
This page is for information only and is not the employer or the recruiter. All role details above come from the original advert, which remains the authoritative source. The salary range is stated exactly as advertised, and because it is unusually wide, confirm the pay directly on the original listing. The source does not state which Middelburg this role is based in, so confirm the work location when applying. Check the original advert for the current status of the vacancy before applying.
