Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a poultry processing plant in Stellenbosch. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a poultry processing plant in Stellenbosch. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
