Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a newly built office block in Roodepoort, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The work is in Roodepoort, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals

• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
