How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Sasolburg; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention GPS or auto-steer if you have used it. Modern grain farms struggle to find operators who know it.
List the machines you can drive and the implements you have used. Farmers want to know if you can plant, spray or harvest on day one.
