Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a newly built office block in Kempton Park. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Kempton Park-based, with most of your time spent at a newly built office block.

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

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

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

• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
