Junior Safety Officer (Housing Projects)

The road construction project in Alberton needs a safety officer who is on the site, not stuck in the container office. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Alberton. Relocation is not covered for this one.
