Job Description

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the private school in Alberton. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Alberton-based, with most of your time spent at a private school. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

Must-haves

  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must

What you get

  • Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
  • Uniform and safety boots supplied
  • On-site accommodation at some estates
  • Meals on duty at hotel sites

How to apply for this job

  • Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
