Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Pretoria West, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Pretoria West, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
