Job Description

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

  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails

Must-haves
