Deep Clean Crew Member (Post-Construction)

Tough, messy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Midrand, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a dairy processing factory. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine

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

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training

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

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
