Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

When production stops at a commercial kitchen in Sasolburg, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Location: Sasolburg, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine

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

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor

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

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