Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

The retirement village in Secunda needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Secunda-based, with most of your time spent at a retirement village.

• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
• Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants

• Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must
• Available for the occasional weekend emergency
• At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
• Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
• Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
• Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store

• Basic first aid certificate
• Experience with a work order system on a phone app
• Gate motor and intercom repair skills

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

• Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
• Write your CV as a skills list first: painting, tiling, plumbing, gate motors, pools. Managers scan for the skills their site needs.
