Diesel Technician (Bus Depot) – Immediate Start

The municipal bus depot in Polokwane needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Polokwane, Limpopo. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
