Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Technician

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a mining workshop in Hammarsdale, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is in Hammarsdale (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE

• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training
• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules

• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning
• 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.
