Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant – Entry Level

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a newly built office block in Alberton, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Alberton-based, with most of your time spent at a newly built office block. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading

• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work

• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
