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

Nice if you have

Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Midrand; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
