Deep Clean Crew Member (Post-Construction)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a mining workshop in Kariega. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Location: Kariega, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
