Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a poultry processing plant in Gqeberha, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training

• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
