Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a commercial kitchen in Benoni. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Benoni-based, with most of your time spent at a commercial kitchen.

• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map

• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

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

• If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
