Maintenance Assistant (School Grounds & Buildings) – Permanent

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the private school in Isando. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Isando-based, with most of your time spent at a private school. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests

• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills

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

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

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