Off-Site Video Monitoring Operator

Night or day, a remote video monitoring centre in Germiston never switches off, and neither does your focus on shift. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Germiston, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.
