Diesel Mechanic (Trackless Mobile Machinery)

When production stops, the artisans get it going again. The diamond mine processing plant near Lephalale needs you on that team. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Location: Lephalale, Limpopo. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
