Job Description

A cleaning contractor in Umhlanga needs dependable cleaners for a shopping centre. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Umhlanga (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Refill toilet paper, hand towel and soap dispensers
  • Empty bins and take waste to the correct recycling or general skip
  • Vacuum carpets and mop hard floors following the daily cleaning schedule
  • Run a scrubber-dryer machine on large tiled areas
  • Sign the ablution checklist on the back of the door after each clean
  • Report broken fittings, leaks or empty stock to the site supervisor

Must-haves

  • You take pride in a job done properly, even when nobody checks
  • Clean criminal record for most corporate sites
  • Able to start early, often 05:00 or 06:00
  • Honest, because you work around laptops and personal items

On offer

  • Paid overtime for weekend deep cleans
  • UIF and paid leave under the cleaning sector rules
  • Uniform and cleaning gloves provided
  • Permanent contract once the site contract is secured

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umhlanga really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: CV with references from previous cleaning sites, certified copy of your ID plus police clearance certificate if the site requires it.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Umhlanga; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • Mention any machines you can use, like a scrubber or polisher. Machine cleaners are harder to find and often get picked first.
  • List each site you have cleaned (office, mall, school) and how long you stayed. Contractors want people who stick with a site.
