Berry Picker (Tunnel Farm) – Immediate Start

You'll pick, prune and look after crops on a commercial seedling nursery near Ermelo through the season. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Ermelo, Mpumalanga. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
