Drainage Plumber (Blockages & CCTV)

Plumbing work that keeps Phalaborwa homes and buildings running: this commercial building contractor needs a trade-tested plumber. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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