Truck Mechanic (Fleet Workshop)

Every hour a truck stands still costs money. This agricultural equipment dealer in Soweto needs a mechanic who can fix it quickly. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is an agricultural equipment dealer on the Soweto side of Gauteng. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
