Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

Good, straight work gets noticed on this shopping centre extension in Rustenburg, and so does turning up every day. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Rustenburg (North West). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
