Plumber for Geyser Installations

Know your way around SANS 10254 and a geyser drip tray? The private hospital maintenance department in Pretoria East wants to hear from you. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Pretoria East; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
