Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Technician

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a mining workshop in Mamelodi, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Mamelodi (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
