  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Clear gutters and fix minor roof leaks with sealant

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus

  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units

Helpful, not essential
