Patrol Officer (Warehouse Perimeter)

You'll control who comes in and out of a distribution warehouse in Prospecton, and log every visitor properly. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Prospecton. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
