Dispatch Assistant (Building Materials)

Trucks come in heavy and leave loaded at this parcel sorting hub in Benoni, and you move the stock in between. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Benoni. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
