Diesel Technician (Bus Depot) – Immediate Start

The long-distance trucking fleet in Pinetown needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Pinetown; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
