Job Description

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

You'll be based at a shopping centre in Gqeberha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
  • Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests

You'll need

  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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