Patrol Officer (Warehouse Perimeter)

You'll control who comes in and out of an industrial park in Newcastle, and log every visitor properly. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Home base is an industrial park on the Newcastle side of KwaZulu-Natal. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
