Deep Clean Crew Member (Post-Construction)

Tough, messy cleaning at a mining workshop in Brakpan, paid better than ordinary cleaning. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a mining workshop in Brakpan. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
