Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Benoni, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Benoni; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine

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

• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie

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

• 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.
