You'll move heavy loads between eMalahleni and depots across the country for a cold-chain logistics fleet. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in eMalahleni; 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.
