Rigger (Shaft & Headgear)

When production stops, the artisans get it going again. The diamond mine processing plant near Roodepoort needs you on that team. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Roodepoort; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
