Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the residential security estate in Harrismith. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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