Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

When production stops at a dairy processing factory in East London, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is in East London (Eastern Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading

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

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

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
