TECHNICIAN – Pupkewitz Toyota 16 views

Most employers require a National Certificate in Automotive Engineering (NQF level 4) or an equivalent trade qualification, along with a valid trade test certificate. Familiarity with Toyota‑specific systems is advantageous, and many candidates complete in‑house Toyota training after hiring. A valid driver’s licence is also typically needed.

Daily tasks include diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults, performing scheduled maintenance, and repairing engines, transmissions, and brakes using manufacturer‑approved procedures. Technicians also complete job cards, order parts, and ensure the workshop adheres to safety and environmental standards. Keeping up with technical bulletins and attending briefings is part of the routine.

The work culture stresses teamwork, punctuality, and a commitment to upholding Toyota’s quality and service standards. Employees are expected to engage in continuous learning, often through internal workshops or manufacturer e‑learning modules. Respect for colleagues and a customer‑focused attitude are highly valued in Namibian dealerships.

Career progression can lead from Technician to Senior Technician, then to Workshop Supervisor or Service Advisor, depending on performance and additional training. Pupkewitz Toyota supports further Toyota technical certifications, which can open paths into specialist roles such as diagnostics expert or hybrid/e‑vehicle technician. Some technicians also move into parts management or sales after gaining experience.

Typical benefits include medical aid contribution, pension or provident fund, paid annual leave, and sometimes a tool or uniform allowance. To apply, submit an updated CV, certified copies of your qualifications, and a brief cover letter via the Pupkewitz Toyota careers website or the advertised email address, highlighting any Toyota or automotive experience you have.
