Air-Conditioning Technician (Split & VRF Systems)

The hospital building services team in Boksburg needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Boksburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.
