How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Tzaneen; 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.

List the truck and engine types you have worked on, including electronic systems. Fleet managers screen for those.
