Job Description

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the rental property portfolio in Sandton. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at a rental property portfolio in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

You'll need

  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic first aid certificate
  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app

On offer

  • On-site accommodation at some estates
  • Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
  • Meals on duty at hotel sites
  • Uniform and safety boots supplied

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Sandton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): highest school or trade certificate, references from previous maintenance jobs plus ID copy.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
