You Will Thrive Here If

The Role

The Quality Technician is the final gatekeeper before any vehicle leaves our Germiston workshop. You perform quality checks on refurbished and newly-assembled vehicles, run pre-delivery inspections against a standardised checklist, and sign off each unit as customer-ready.

• Post-assembly QC on newly-built vehicles
• Pre-delivery inspection (PDI) against the Scooter standardised checklist
• Defect logging, rework coordination with the Production Technician, and sign-off records

Rate: R110 per QC hour. Scope and hours per unit are standardised per vehicle type and communicated on hire.

Payment terms: fortnightly, against signed-off inspection records.

• You enjoy finding what is wrong before the customer does
• You document every finding, even the small ones
• You work independently and do not need approval to fail a unit
• You are comfortable pushing back on production if something is not right
• You like the idea of being paid per unit signed off, not per hour attended

Working Conditions

• Reports to: Chief Product Officer
• Full PPE provided. QC tools and diagnostic equipment provided.
