Job Description

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the rental property portfolio in Midrand. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

Home base is a rental property portfolio on the Midrand side of Gauteng. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas

Must-haves

  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: references from previous maintenance jobs, highest school or trade certificate plus ID copy.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How to stand out
