Job Description

People notice a clean university campus; in Richards Bay, you would be the reason it shines. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Home base is an university campus on the Richards Bay side of KwaZulu-Natal.

What you'll actually do

  • Mix cleaning chemicals at the dilution shown on the label, never by guesswork
  • Clean glass doors and internal windows without streaks
  • Sign the ablution checklist on the back of the door after each clean
  • Refill toilet paper, hand towel and soap dispensers
  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor
  • Run a scrubber-dryer machine on large tiled areas
  • Wipe desks, door handles, lift buttons and light switches

Must-haves

  • Comfortable using cleaning chemicals safely with gloves
  • Grade 10 or higher
  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks

Helpful, not essential

  • Supervisory experience for team leader posts
  • Chemical handling training from a supplier or contractor

What's in it for you

  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules
  • Paid overtime for weekend deep cleans
