Quality Sorter (Packaging Factory)

Here in Mokopane, a meat processing plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Home base is a meat processing plant on the Mokopane side of Limpopo. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
