Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the city hotel in Phalaborwa. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Phalaborwa; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus

• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store

• Basic first aid certificate
