Cleaning Team Leader (Office Park)

Early starts, clear routines and a steady contract at an university campus in Harrismith. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Harrismith-based, with most of your time spent at an university campus. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Clean glass doors and internal windows without streaks
• Mix cleaning chemicals at the dilution shown on the label, never by guesswork
• Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors following the daily cleaning schedule
• Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave
• Clean and disinfect toilets, basins and urinals several times a shift

• Able to stand, bend and walk for a full shift
• You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
• Clean criminal record for most corporate sites
• Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00

• Tea service or kitchen experience
• Training on a floor polisher or scrubber machine

• Permanent contract once the site contract is secured
• UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules
• Uniform and cleaning gloves provided

• List each site you have cleaned (office, mall, school) and how long you stayed. Contractors want people who stick with a site.
• Ask a former supervisor if you can put their number on your CV. Cleaning contractors almost always phone a reference.
