General Maintenance Technician (Hotel)

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the private school in East London. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is East London-based, with most of your time spent at a private school. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
• Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails

• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units

• 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.
• Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
