Job Description

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the shopping centre in Khayelitsha. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Khayelitsha. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails

Must-haves

  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency
  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • 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
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic first aid certificate
  • Pool and borehole pump experience
  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app

On offer

  • Meals on duty at hotel sites
  • Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
  • Uniform and safety boots supplied

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Khayelitsha really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy plus references from previous maintenance jobs.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How to stand out

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