Team Leader (Automotive Production Line)

Work on the line where every station counts, at the seat and interior trim plant in Isando. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The work is in Isando, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
