• Troubleshoot and repair diesel engines, hydraulic systems, air brakes, clutches, gearboxes, suspension systems, and differentials.

• Deep understanding of diesel engine technology, turbochargers, air systems, and hydraulic controls.
• Familiarity with both rigid and articulated dump trucks used in open-pit mining is highly desirable.
• Must be physically fit and able to work under pressure in remote and harsh conditions (hot, dusty, high temperatures).
• A valid driver’s license is an added advantage.
• Must be a Copperbelt resident and available to start immediately.
