CNC Machinist (Lathe & Milling)

Planned maintenance and breakdown work on shift at the general engineering workshop in Rosslyn. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Rosslyn, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
