Job Description

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Komani, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Komani; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
  • Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
  • Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
  • Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
  • Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up

You'll need

  • Respect for chemical safety and PPE
  • Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
  • Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
  • Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
  • Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

Nice if you have

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

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  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 6 working days, usually by phone.
