Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Technician – Permanent

Tough, messy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Springs, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Springs (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets

• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie

• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning
• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators

• 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.
