Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a mining workshop in Krugersdorp. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is in Krugersdorp (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clear builders' dust, paint and cement off floors and windows after construction
• Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
• Shampoo carpets and upholstery with an extraction machine
• Run a high-pressure washer on grease, oil and slurry build-up
• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading

• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• 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

• Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
• Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training
• Pest control registration under the fumigation rules

• Night-shift and standby allowances
• Full PPE: waterproof suits, boots, goggles and respirators
• 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.
