Diesel Fitter (Forklift Fleet) – Permanent

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This truck dealership workshop in Rustenburg needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
