High-Pressure Wash Operator

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Johannesburg CBD, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a commercial kitchen. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training

• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning

• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
