Building Maintenance Handyman (Residential Estate)

The rental property portfolio in Vereeniging needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is Vereeniging-based, with most of your time spent at a rental property portfolio. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
• Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
• Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

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

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

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