Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

Tough, messy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Krugersdorp, paid better than ordinary cleaning. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a commercial kitchen in Krugersdorp. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
