Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

The shopping centre in Polokwane needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Polokwane, Limpopo. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
