Job Description

Handy with a drill, a paintbrush and a tap washer? The private school in George has a list waiting for you. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in George, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas

You'll need

  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency

Extra points for

  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app
  • Pool and borehole pump experience

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): highest school or trade certificate plus references from previous maintenance jobs.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.
