Job Description

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the city hotel in Pinetown. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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

What your day looks like

  • Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist

What you need

  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency
  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills

Helpful, not essential

  • Pool and borehole pump experience
  • Gate motor and intercom repair skills
  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app

On offer

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