Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the city hotel in Bethlehem. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The work is in Bethlehem, Free State, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)

• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
• 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

• 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

• 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.
