Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

When production stops at a poultry processing plant in Cape Town CBD, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a poultry processing plant in Cape Town CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals

• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews

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

• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
