Plumbing Artisan (Hospital Maintenance)

This property management company in Richards Bay needs a plumber who arrives on time, fixes it properly and leaves the site clean. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Richards Bay; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
