Quality Sorter (Packaging Factory)

Here in Coega, a plastic moulding plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Coega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
