Truck Mechanic (Fleet Workshop)

The agricultural equipment dealer in Mbombela needs a trade-tested diesel mechanic for workshop and field work. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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