  • Clean and disinfect toilets, basins and urinals several times a shift
  • Clean glass doors and internal windows without streaks
  • Clean the kitchenette, wash cups and wipe down the fridge and microwave
  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor
  • Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors following the daily cleaning schedule

You'll need

  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • Grade 10 or higher
  • 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
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items

Extra points for

  • Training on a floor polisher or scrubber machine
  • Tea service or kitchen experience
  • Supervisory experience for team leader posts

What's in it for you

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