  • Replace tap washers, cisterns, shower heads and toilet seats
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas

What you need

  • Code 08 licence to run errands to the hardware store
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Grade 10 at least; matric is a plus
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units

Nice if you have

  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app
  • Basic first aid certificate
  • Gate motor and intercom repair skills

What's in it for you
