Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park)

Residents and staff at a private school campus in Brakpan need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Brakpan; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
