Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a mining workshop in Polokwane, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Polokwane, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires

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

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie

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

• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
