Multi-Skilled Maintenance Hand (Retirement Village)

Handy with a drill, a paintbrush and a tap washer? The city hotel in Springs has a list waiting for you. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Springs; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
• Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
• Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
• Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants
• Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used

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

• Pool and borehole pump experience
• Gate motor and intercom repair skills
• Basic first aid certificate

• Uniform and safety boots supplied
• On-site accommodation at some estates

• Before-and-after photos on your phone can win you this job. Offer to show them at the interview.
• Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
