Maintenance Artisan (Shopping Centre) – Experienced

Handy with a drill, a paintbrush and a tap washer? The rental property portfolio in Soweto has a list waiting for you. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Soweto, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
• Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants

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

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

• Write your CV as a skills list first: painting, tiling, plumbing, gate motors, pools. Managers scan for the skills their site needs.
• Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
