Refrigeration Technician (Commercial Cold Rooms)

The cold chain logistics company in Tembisa needs an HVAC technician who knows both the electrical side and the refrigerant side. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Tembisa, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.
