Job Description

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the residential security estate in Kariega. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

You'll report in Kariega. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

What you need

  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references

Extra points for

  • Pool and borehole pump experience
  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app
  • Basic first aid certificate

What you get

  • Uniform and safety boots supplied
  • Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
  • Meals on duty at hotel sites

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: references from previous maintenance jobs, ID copy plus highest school or trade certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Kariega.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Write your CV as a skills list first: painting, tiling, plumbing, gate motors, pools. Managers scan for the skills their site needs.
  • Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
