MECHANIC GENERAL L2 – Barloworld Equipment 33 views

Typically you need a Grade 10–12 certificate plus a trade qualification such as a Level 2–3 certificate or apprenticeship in diesel/mechanical fitting from a recognised institution like NTA-accredited training centres. A valid Code B/CE driver's licence and trade test certification are often required. Prior experience with heavy earthmoving equipment is a strong advantage.

You will perform servicing, repairs, and diagnostics on construction and mining equipment such as excavators, loaders, and dozers, following manufacturer procedures. Duties include engine, hydraulic, electrical, and undercarriage work, completing job cards accurately, and adhering to safety standards. Field breakdown support at mine sites may also be required.

Namibian workshops emphasise strict adherence to occupational health and safety rules, punctuality, and teamwork across shifts. Employers value discipline, willingness to work at remote mine sites on rotation, and clear communication with supervisors. Continuous learning through OEM training is strongly encouraged.

You can progress from L2 to higher mechanic levels (L3/L4), then to Artisan, Foreman, Workshop Supervisor, or specialised technician roles with additional OEM certifications. Gaining trade test status and brand-specific training accelerates advancement. Many technicians move into field service or supervisory positions within a few years.

Common benefits include annual leave, medical aid contributions, pension or provident fund membership, and sometimes housing or transport allowances, especially for site-based roles. Benefits vary by employer and contract type. Always confirm the full package during the offer stage.
