Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

Tough, messy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Midrand, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a poultry processing plant.

• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• 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
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Night-shift and standby allowances

• 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.
