How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Pretoria West; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Expect a practical test. Measure twice and work cleanly, because the assessor watches your habits as much as the result.
If you can machine parts as well as fit them, say so clearly. Many factories want both skills in one person.
