Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a newly built office block in Kariega. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is Kariega-based, with most of your time spent at a newly built office block.

• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up

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

• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training

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

• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
