Fitter (Underground Engineering) – Experienced

When production stops, the artisans get it going again. The diamond mine processing plant near eMalahleni needs you on that team. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Home base is a diamond mine processing plant on the eMalahleni side of Mpumalanga. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
