Agricultural Diesel Mechanic (Tractors & Harvesters)

The truck dealership workshop in Pinetown needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Pinetown; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
