Bakery Production Hand (Early Shift)

Machines set the pace at this meat processing plant in Germiston; you keep up and catch the faults. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

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