Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

Tough, messy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Sasolburg, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Sasolburg-based, with most of your time spent at a poultry processing plant. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

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

• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
