Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant) – Permanent

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Kimberley, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Location: Kimberley, Northern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
