Bell Equipment X12 Apprentice – Heavy Equipment Mechanic

 Minimum requirements

You need:

• Grade 12

• Mathematics (Core) — not Mathematical Literacy

• Physical Science

• Engineering Graphics & Design (EGD)

• Pass Bell’s Technical Assessment, including:

  • Numeracy

  • Literacy

• Valid Code EB (Code 08) driver’s licence

• Be able to meet the physical demands of the work

• Be prepared to undergo a medical examination

• Live within 50 km of a Bell Customer Service Centre

 Added advantages

These aren’t stated as mandatory, but can strengthen an application:

• N2 Diesel/Motor Trade Theory

• NCV Level 4 ERD (Engineering Related Design) with seven Automotive subjects

• Engineering-industry work experience

• Completed basic hand-skills training

• Valid passport

Documents — very important

Bell says only applications with certified copies of the required documents will be considered.

Prepare:

1. Certified ID

2. Certified Grade 12 certificate/results

3. Certified school/college qualifications

4. Certified driver’s licence / learner’s licence

5. Any relevant N2/NCV qualifications

6. Other supporting certificates, if applicable

The 50 km requirement is important

Although the advert says “All province,” this does not mean you can necessarily apply from anywhere in the province.

You are expected to reside within 50 km of the Bell Customer Service Centre associated with the apprenticeship.

What makes this opportunity particularly useful

This is directly aligned with a heavy equipment mechanic/diesel-mechanical career, rather than a general maintenance apprenticeship. Bell Equipment operates in heavy machinery, so the apprenticeship can provide relevant exposure to equipment used in construction, mining and related industries.

Closing date: 7 October 2026 — so there is still time to apply.
