Premium Personnel invites suitably qualified applicants to apply for Cleaner / General Assistant vacancies based at an active workshop premises. The closing date for applications was not provided in the vacancy information. The opportunity may suit job seekers with at least Grade 10, practical cleaning experience and the ability to work in a busy industrial workshop environment.
This position is focused on keeping the workshop clean, safe and organised so that employees can carry out their daily work without unnecessary hazards. The successful applicant will be responsible for general housekeeping, waste management, spill control and other support duties around the workshop and surrounding yard.
The role can involve physical work, including standing for long periods, bending, lifting and moving heavy parts or equipment when required. Applicants should therefore be physically fit and comfortable working in an environment where manual tasks are part of the job.
The Cleaner / General Assistant will play an important role in maintaining the workshop premises.
An industrial workshop can have different risks compared with an ordinary office. Oil, grease, machinery, tools, parts and other materials can create safety hazards if the working area is not kept clean and organised.
The successful candidate will help reduce these problems by cleaning the workshop, dealing with spills, removing waste and keeping important areas clear.
The successful applicant will have several housekeeping and general support responsibilities.
The main goal will be to make sure the workshop remains clean, safe and organised throughout the working day.
One of the most important duties will be keeping the workshop and surrounding areas clean.
The employee will be expected to:
These duties may need to be performed regularly because workshops can quickly become dirty due to daily operations.
Keeping the floors and common areas clean can also help create a safer workplace for everyone.
Oil, grease and other fluids can create dangerous slipping hazards in a workshop.
The Cleaner / General Assistant will need to respond quickly when spills or fluid residues are found.
Responsibilities include clearing away:
Applicants should understand that spills should not simply be ignored. They need to be dealt with promptly and safely according to workplace procedures.
The successful applicant will also assist with workshop waste management.
This includes regularly emptying workshop rubbish bins and safely disposing of waste and debris in the areas provided for disposal.
The employee should make sure waste does not build up in working areas.
Waste must also be handled carefully because workshops can contain different types of materials and debris.
Safety is an important part of this position.
The Cleaner / General Assistant will be expected to make sure walkways remain clear and accessible.
The following areas must remain unobstructed:
Keeping these areas clear can help employees move around the workshop safely and ensures that safety equipment and emergency exits are accessible when needed.
The position also includes helping with the organisation and care of tools and workshop equipment.
The successful applicant may be required to:
Applicants should be prepared to help with practical tasks while following workplace safety procedures.
The job is therefore not limited to cleaning floors. It also includes general support work around the workshop.
The Cleaner / General Assistant should pay attention to the condition of the workplace.
If the employee notices a structural defect or another workplace hazard, it should be reported directly to management.
This could include anything that may create a risk to employees, visitors or normal workshop operations.
Being alert and reporting problems early can help management deal with potential hazards before they become bigger issues.
Applicants must have completed at least Grade 10.
This makes the opportunity potentially suitable for job seekers who have not completed Matric but have the required Grade 10 education level.
However, meeting the minimum education requirement does not necessarily mean that an applicant will automatically be selected.
Applicants should also consider the experience and physical requirements of the job before applying.
Premium Personnel is looking for applicants with proven experience as a Cleaner or General Assistant.

Working in this type of environment can help an applicant understand the importance of safety, housekeeping and correct waste handling.

This position involves physical work.
Applicants should be physically fit and capable of performing tasks that may include:
Anyone applying should understand that this is an active role and may require physical effort during the working day.
Applicants should have a basic understanding of chemical cleaning agents.

Cleaning products should be handled carefully and according to workplace instructions.
Applicants should be willing to follow all safety rules and procedures when using cleaning materials or working around workshop equipment.
The successful candidate should have good time-management skills.
Workshop cleaning and general support duties need to be completed regularly, so being able to organise tasks and manage time is important.
