Residents and staff at an industrial park in Durban Central need to feel safe when they arrive; that is your job. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
