Quality Sorter (Packaging Factory)

You'll keep the line running at a plastic moulding plant in Pinetown, feeding, checking and packing product all shift. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Pinetown. Relocation is not covered for this one.
