Field Service Diesel Mechanic (Roadside Breakdowns)

You'll service and repair heavy diesel vehicles for the agricultural equipment dealer in Gqeberha. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
