Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

When production stops at a mining workshop in Isando, your crew moves in and cleans everything down. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Location: Isando, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

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

• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
• 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

• A Code 8 licence to drive the crew bakkie
• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket

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

• 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.
