Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

When production stops at a dairy processing factory in George, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in George, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading

• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews

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