Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a dairy processing factory in Somerset West. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Somerset West; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
