Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

When production stops at a mining workshop in Bloemfontein, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Bloemfontein-based, with most of your time spent at a mining workshop. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work

• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules
• Experience using a high-pressure washer or carpet extractor
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

• Higher hourly rate than standard cleaning
• Paid training on machines and chemicals
• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators

• Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
• Put the machines and chemicals you have used at the top of your CV. Industrial cleaning companies hire on skills, not just willingness.
