Behind every truck on the road is a controller; at a bus and coach operator in Cape Town CBD, that could be you. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Cape Town CBD, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
