Rapid Response Officer (Farm Security) – Immediate Start

When a panic button goes off in a mixed-use neighbourhood in Epping, you are the one who arrives first. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Epping (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.
