Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in White River, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Location: White River, Mpumalanga. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
