About the role
Our client is looking for a practical and hardworking Maintenance All-Rounder to join the team at a luxury safari lodge in the Addo area of the Eastern Cape.
This is not a Maintenance Manager or senior supervisory position. We are looking for a genuine hands-on tradesperson and jack of all trades — someone who enjoys fixing things, solving practical problems and getting stuck into whatever maintenance work the lodge requires.
This is a live-in position and would particularly suit someone accustomed to working in a lodge, farm, rural property or similarly hands-on environment.
You will assist with the everyday maintenance, repairs and upkeep required to keep a busy luxury lodge operating smoothly.
Your responsibilities will include:
- General building and property maintenance
- Basic plumbing repairs and fault finding
- Basic electrical work within your level of competence
- Carpentry and furniture repairs
- Painting, patching and general upkeep
- Repairs to doors, locks, fittings and fixtures
- Attend to maintenance issues in guest accommodation and public areas
- Assist with equipment and general infrastructure maintenance
- Complete routine preventative maintenance checks
- Respond promptly to breakdowns and urgent repairs
- Maintain tools and maintenance work areas
- Identify problems requiring specialist attention
- Assist with general projects and property upkeep wherever needed
What they're looking for
- Previous practical experience in general maintenance, building maintenance or a trade-related role
- Trade experience or a practical technical background highly advantageous
- Good working knowledge across several areas such as plumbing, electrical, carpentry, painting and general repairs
- Strong practical fault-finding ability
- Able to work with tools confidently
- Physically fit and comfortable with hands-on work
- Resourceful and solutions driven
- Hardworking with a strong work ethic
- Reliable and able to work without constant supervision
- Willing to assist outside a narrow job description when the operation requires it
- Previous safari lodge, hotel, farm or remote property maintenance experience advantageous
- Comfortable living and working in the Addo area
- Candidates based in or familiar with the Eastern Cape are encouraged to apply
