Window Cleaner (Rope Access Assistant)

You'll do the heavy cleaning at a dairy processing factory in Upington, the kind that needs machines, chemicals and training. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Upington-based, with most of your time spent at a dairy processing factory. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Put out and check pest bait stations on the site map
• 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

• Respect for chemical safety and PPE
• Physically strong for wet, heavy work
• Able to pass a medical fitness check for plant work
• Grade 10 or better; you must read chemical labels and safety data sheets
• Willing to work nights and weekends when plants shut down

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

• 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.
