General Maintenance Technician (Hotel) – Permanent

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the private school in Montague Gardens. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Montague Gardens, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
