Boom Gate Controller (Industrial Park)

The gate at a distribution warehouse in Sandton is the first line of safety, and you would be standing at it. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Sandton, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
