HVAC Service Technician (Office Buildings)

You'll install, service and repair refrigeration and aircon systems across Centurion. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Centurion. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
