Employment Opportunities
I try to keep staff as long as possible due to the
lengthy training we have to give.
Please peruse this website in order to see what we do at Nick’s Racing.
Apart from myself I generally work together with 1 to
2 people, depending on the workload and skill of the chief-technician.
These staff members run the mechanical side of this shop (be an extension of my
hands).
To understand the
requirements I have for the present vacancy for one person:
We
build header
freeflow system,
which I expect you to fabricate with a pipe bender and Mig
welder
I also expect
you to liaise with my clients as well as do stock
control and sales.
Basic computer
knowledge is essential, such as sending out orders per eMail
and googling info.
I need you to
be technically minded, so you can figure out problems, as they invariably
present themselves.
We do not
service cars, but I would hope that you know the technical rudimentaries.
We solder-in
the Unichip piggy back computer and I would need
you to be able to read and connect a simple wiring diagram, as shown below: ECU
at top and Unichip at right:
We have nobody
apart from myself to train you, so I expect a basic knowledge in what I have
just described.
I am not
looking at qualifications, but at technical experience. Do
not swamp me with CV’s, but tell me how you qualify for this job.
Should you
feel that you are indeed able to fulfil above expectation, please send
me an eMail stating why you are the right person
for the job, with an intact subject line.
To make sure
that I can meet your expectations, I offer the following negotiable starter
package:
Initial salary of 2000 N$ per month i.e. 100 N$ a day until you prove
your worth
Should you
need accommodation, I can organise you a Room in Okuryangava
to the value of 2000 N$ incl. water and lights
Transport
allowance to get to and from work at my expense
Safety wear
Social
Security
The following is what my previous staff members were able to contribute:
An Understanding on the principles of the
4-stroke petrol driven internal combustion Engine.
Logical thinking & Fabrication skills
Use of hand tools
Welding abilities- stick & MIG
Reading & understanding basic wiring diagrams
Mechanical aptitude
A sober personality
Wire piggyback chips (I do the Dyno tuning)
Automotive diagnostics (Carburettor & Fuel injection)
Remove & refit cylinder heads (I do the porting)
Remove & refit cams & degree them
Fabricate Free Flow exhaust systems (I design the system)
General mechanical work, such as fitting Hydraulic winches, spotlights, Intercoolers, performance brakes & suspensions.
Fabricate air filter brackets & jigs therefore
Do stock control and parts sales (K&N filters, headers etc.)
Advise & consult with customers
It was to their benefit if they had further qualifications/tertiary training, such as:
Mathematics and science at school
A Rudimentary knowledge of Electronics
Modifications/fabrication
Engine Building
Mechanics
Sales experience
Stock control
The capacity for logical thinking
Command of the English language
Telephone etiquette & Customer relations skills
I do provide a modicum of training in those areas that might need a bit of refreshing.
I provide flexible working hours in a 42 hour work week
You will be part of a small & dynamic team instead of just an employee.
We do not build racing cars, but mainly enhance the performance of utility vehicles (petrol and diesel)
Once you are able to work on your own, we would supply
a "handlanger" who cleans, helps and
generally is an aid to you, my "hand extension" person.
This person often lands up training to be an
apprentice and all that have been with us for a significant length of time have
become assets to the industry.
We quite often take in apprentices or students needing hands
on experience, such as NIMT
I pride myself in excellence in Workmanship but do not put undue pressure on my
Employees, as long as the job goes out perfect !
