Millwright (Production Plant)

Planned maintenance and breakdown work on shift at the cement plant in Midrand. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Midrand; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
