TIG Welder (Stainless Steel Food Equipment)

You'll cut, fit and weld steel to drawing in a busy trailer and truck body builder in Mokopane. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Mokopane; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
