Loading Bay Hand (Beverage Depot)

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Midrand wants. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Location: Midrand, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.
