Machine Assistant (Plastics Moulding)

Here in Paarl, a furniture assembly factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Paarl; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.
