Assembly Line Operator (Component Plant)

You'll build parts or whole vehicles on a moving line at the vehicle assembly plant in Coega. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Coega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
