Job Description

Every day is different here: small repairs, painting and planned maintenance at the residential security estate in Sasolburg. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Sasolburg-based, with most of your time spent at a residential security estate.

What you'll actually do

  • Lay and repair floor tiles and re-grout wet areas
  • Hang doors, fit locks and adjust sliding door rails
  • Change globes, fluorescent tubes and plug covers (no DB work)
  • Service pool pumps, gate motors and garage door openers
  • Get quotes from outside contractors and let them in for bigger jobs
  • Check fire extinguishers, emergency lights and escape routes on a monthly checklist
  • Patch, sand and paint walls, doors and ceilings between tenants

You'll need

  • Available for the occasional weekend emergency
  • 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

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic first aid certificate
  • Gate motor and intercom repair skills

On offer

  • Uniform and safety boots supplied
  • Training on specialised equipment like gate motors and pool plant
  • Meals on duty at hotel sites
  • On-site accommodation at some estates

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. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Before you hit apply
