Job Description

You'll fix what breaks and prevent what might, around the residential security estate in Randburg. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

  • At least 2 years of general building maintenance work you can back up with references
  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency
  • Basic painting, tiling, plumbing and carpentry skills
  • Honest and trusted to work inside occupied units
  • Your own tools are a plus, but safe tool handling is a must

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience with a work order system on a phone app
  • Pool and borehole pump experience

What's in it for you
