Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Fourways, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Fourways (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets

• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules

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

• 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.
