A hands-on trade opportunity has opened for a Heavy Truck Stripper and Assembler in Springs, Gauteng. If you know your way around truck cabs, body panels and the careful work of taking a vehicle apart and putting it back together properly, this permanent role could be a strong fit. The position is managed by The Recruitment Pig for a commercial truck repairer based in Springs, and it offers a monthly salary of between R15,000 and R25,000, depending on your qualifications, skills and experience.
About the company and the work
The employer is a commercial truck repairer in Springs that grew from a small workshop into a leading name in its field. It specialises in major truck body repairs and holds top factory approvals from major truck brands. The business is described as well established and expanding rapidly, which the advert links to job security and room for career growth. The work takes place in a modern workshop, with a strong team around you and regular training on offer, working on top truck brands. In this kind of workshop, accurate stripping and assembly matter a great deal: when parts are removed carefully, labelled and stored properly, and then refitted neatly, the whole repair process runs more smoothly for fleet customers.
One location detail is worth noting before you apply. The listing’s location field reads simply “South Africa”, while the advert body gives the work location as New Era, Springs, Gauteng. This post therefore uses Springs in the title and the city field, and you should confirm the exact work base when you apply.
Role details and duties
The role covers the full strip-and-assemble cycle on heavy trucks. Day to day, you will:
- Safely strip damaged truck cabs, body panels and parts before repairs begin.
- Check for hidden damage during stripping and report it to the workshop team.
- Label and safely store all removed truck parts, bolts and clips in cages, so nothing gets lost.
- Fit repaired and newly painted truck panels, doors, bumpers and cab interiors neatly.
- Reconnect radiators, air pipes, lights and basic electrical plugs safely and accurately.
- Line up doors and body panels properly so everything closes smoothly and looks great.
- Keep the work bay clean, safe and organised, with all tools in place.
The advert notes that this is an exclusive opportunity managed by TRPig, and that the salary range of R15,000 to R25,000 per month is set according to qualifications, skills and experience. The position is permanent and pitched at intermediate level, and the listing was posted on 29 October 2026 with an expiry window of 19 days from posting.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the advert are listed here:
- A Trade Test Certificate (Red Seal) in Panelbeating, Auto Body Repair, or Diesel Mechanics.
- Grade 12 (Matric) or an equivalent N2/N3 technical certificate.
- At least 3 to 5 years of experience stripping and assembling heavy trucks.
- Good knowledge of truck cabs, air pipes, dashboards and basic electrical wiring.
- Strong attention to detail, so no parts or bolts get lost or damaged.
- A valid South African driver’s licence (Code 10 or Code 14 is a bonus).
- A positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a strong team player mindset.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply through the original CareerJunction advert using the Apply button on this page, which takes you directly to the source listing. Apply only through that official route, and be cautious of anyone who contacts you separately asking for payment, banking details or copies of identity documents before an interview. A genuine recruitment process for a trade role like this will focus on your trade test, your experience with heavy trucks and your work history, not on upfront fees.
Practical tips
Before you apply, gather proof of your Red Seal trade test and your Matric or N2/N3 certificate, and make a short list of the truck makes and models you have stripped and assembled. Be ready to talk through a recent job: what damage you found once panels were off, how you stored and labelled the parts, and how you checked the finished fit. If you hold a Code 10 or Code 14 licence, mention it, since the advert flags it as a bonus. Because the advert gives the work location as New Era in Springs, check your travel to that area before you commit to an interview.
How the process works
Applications go through The Recruitment Pig, which is managing this opportunity on behalf of the workshop. Shortlisted candidates can expect their trade background and heavy truck experience to be checked against the requirements above, followed by the employer’s own selection steps. Keep an eye on your phone and email after applying, and respond promptly if the recruiter gets in touch, as workshop roles of this kind are often filled quickly.
