Industrial Cleaner (Mining Workshop)

Tough, messy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Thohoyandou, paid better than ordinary cleaning. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a dairy processing factory in Thohoyandou. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up

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

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

• 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.
