Facilities Maintenance Handyman (Office Park)

Handy with a drill, a paintbrush and a tap washer? The city hotel in Bethlehem has a list waiting for you. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The work is in Bethlehem, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats

• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store

• On-site accommodation at some estates
• Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
• Meals on duty at hotel sites
• Uniform and safety boots supplied

• Write your CV as a skills list first: painting, tiling, plumbing, gate motors, pools. Managers scan for the skills their site needs.
• Before-and-after photos on your phone can win you this job. Offer to show them at the interview.
