Packaging Line Operator (Rotating Shifts)

Here in Prospecton, a plastic moulding plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Home base is a plastic moulding plant on the Prospecton side of KwaZulu-Natal. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
