High-Pressure Wash Operator – Permanent

Tough, messy cleaning at a mining workshop in Stellenbosch, paid better than ordinary cleaning. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

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

• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie

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

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