Job Description

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.

What you'll actually do

  • 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

Must-haves

  • 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

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

  • 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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: machine, chemical or heights certificates plus recent medical fitness certificate if you have one.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
