Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Technician

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Atlantis, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Atlantis (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map

• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE

• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor

• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Night-shift and standby allowances

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
