Maintenance Assistant (School Grounds & Buildings)

The residential security estate in Secunda needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)

• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
