Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

When production stops at a commercial kitchen in Pinetown, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Pinetown. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals

• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• 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

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

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

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