Millwright (Production Plant)

You'll keep machines turning and parts in spec at the cement plant in Bellville. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a cement plant.

• Replace bearings, seals and couplings on pumps, gearboxes and motors

• Willing to work shifts, standby and weekend shutdowns
