Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant) – Fixed-Term

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a newly built office block in Gqeberha, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The work is in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
• Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run

• Reliable, as crews are small and each person counts
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work

• Night-shift and standby allowances
• 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.
