Job Description

Tough, messy cleaning at a newly built office block in Atlantis, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Atlantis, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
  • Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
  • Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
  • Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
  • Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
  • Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires

What you need

  • Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
  • Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
  • Physically strong for wet, heavy work
  • Respect for chemical safety and PPE
  • Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

Helpful, not essential

  • Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
  • Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of your South African ID, recent medical fitness certificate if you have one plus machine, chemical or heights certificates.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.
