Air-Conditioning Technician (Split & VRF Systems)

The air-conditioning maintenance company in Krugersdorp needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Krugersdorp, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
