Pest Control and Hygiene Assistant

Tough, messy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in Soweto, paid better than ordinary cleaning. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll be based at a commercial kitchen in Soweto. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction

• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work

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

• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• 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.
