You'll service, diagnose and repair cars in a busy independent service workshop in Burgersfort. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll report in Burgersfort. Relocation is not covered for this one. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
