Job Description

Industrial cleaners are always in demand; this crew works a newly built office block in Mthatha. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a newly built office block in Mthatha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Lock out machines before cleaning, as the safety file requires
  • Store chemicals in the locked chemical store with safety data sheets
  • Foam, scrub and rinse walls, floors and conveyors with approved chemicals
  • Test sanitiser strength with test strips and record the reading
  • Clean drains and grease traps in commercial kitchens
  • Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
  • Strip down and wash production equipment after the last run

What you need

  • Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
  • Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down
  • Not scared of heights for window or rope crews
  • Physically strong for wet, heavy work

Helpful, not essential

  • Working-at-heights or IRATA rope access ticket
  • Chemical safety or HACCP hygiene training

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: recent medical fitness certificate if you have one plus copy of your South African ID.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted
