General Maintenance Technician (Hotel) – Entry Level

The city hotel in Prospecton needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas

• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
• 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
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus

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

• 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.
