Job Description

The retirement village in Pretoria West needs a reliable all-rounder to keep the buildings safe and looking good. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Pretoria West; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Keep the maintenance store tidy and track stock used
  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Work through the maintenance log each morning and prioritise urgent requests
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

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

What you get

  • On-site accommodation at some estates
  • Uniform and safety boots supplied
  • Meals on duty at hotel sites

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): references from previous maintenance jobs, highest school or trade certificate plus ID copy.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pretoria West.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • Do not claim electrical work you are not licensed to sign off. Say "basic electrical, no DB work" instead.
  • Before-and-after photos on your phone can win you this job. Offer to show them at the interview.
