Job Description

The residential security estate in Bloemfontein needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Bloemfontein; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
  • Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests

What you 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
  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills

What's in it for you

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