Hygiene Cleaner (Food Factory Night Crew)

When production stops at a commercial kitchen in Secunda, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Secunda-based, with most of your time spent at a commercial kitchen. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires

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

• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

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

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