Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Pietermaritzburg, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

This post is in Pietermaritzburg (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets

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

• 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.
