Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park)

Residents and staff at an industrial park in Alberton need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Alberton, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
