Job Description

Tough, messy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Somerset West, paid better than ordinary cleaning. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Somerset West. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
  • Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
  • Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
  • Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
  • Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up

Must-haves

  • Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
  • Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
  • Respect for chemical safety and PPE
  • Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
  • Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
  • A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your South African ID, machine, chemical or heights certificates plus recent medical fitness certificate if you have one.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
