Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Soweto, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Soweto; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine

• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training
• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules

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

• 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.
