Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park) – Permanent

The gate at a construction yard in Germiston is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Germiston, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.
