Facilities Maintenance Handyman (Office Park)

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the private school in Cape Town CBD. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas

• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units

• Gate motor and intercom repair skills
• Basic first aid certificate

• Before-and-after photos on your phone can win you this job. Offer to show them at the interview.
• Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
