Job Description

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a commercial kitchen in East London, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
  • Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
  • Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
  • Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
  • Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
  • Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
  • Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets

You'll need

  • Physically strong for wet, heavy work
  • Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
  • Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
  • Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
  • Respect for chemical safety and PPE
  • Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your South African ID, recent medical fitness certificate if you have one plus machine, chemical or heights certificates.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • If you hold a heights or rope access ticket, attach it. It can double what you earn in this line of work.
  • Say you are available for night and shutdown work. That is when most factory hygiene cleaning happens.
