Pretoria – Waltloo & Silverton | Full-Time | On-Site
R20,000 – R30,000 CTC per month + R5,000 commission for each successfully placed new tenant
We are looking for an experienced, hands-on Property Maintenance Manager to take responsibility for the day-to-day maintenance and upkeep of two multi-tenanted commercial and industrial properties in Pretoria.
This is a practical, hands-on position – not an office-based property management role. The successful candidate should be someone who enjoys fixing things, solving maintenance problems, and keeping properties in excellent condition.
You will act as the owner's on-site representative, manage four staff members, deal directly with tenants and report directly to the owner.
THE PROPERTIES

- Zasm Industrial Park, Waltloo – 12 industrial workshops
- DriveHub, Silverton – 4 commercial tenants
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Maintenance & Property Upkeep
- Personally perform general maintenance and basic repairs, including plumbing, electrical, painting, and related work
- Identify and repair water leaks and help prevent unnecessary water losses
- Regularly inspect both properties and identify maintenance requirements before they become bigger problems
- Purchase materials and parts required for repairs and use the on-site workers to assist with maintenance work
- Ensure buildings, workshops, common areas and grounds remain neat, clean and well maintained
- Inspect units when tenants move out and ensure all necessary repairs are completed before reletting
- Implement and follow preventative maintenance practices
- Report larger maintenance requirements and projects directly to the owner
2. Staff Management
- Manage, supervise, and allocate daily work to four employees: two cleaners and two general workers
- Inspect completed work and ensure an acceptable standard is maintained
3. Tenant & Property Management
- Act as the company's first point of contact for tenants and maintain professional tenant relationships
- Follow up with current and former tenants regarding outstanding rent and negotiate payment arrangements where required
- Show vacant units to prospective tenants and assist with securing new tenants
REQUIREMENTS
- Minimum 5 years' practical experience in maintenance, construction or a similar hands-on role
- Strong practical knowledge of plumbing, electrical work, painting, building maintenance and general repairs
- Able and willing to personally perform maintenance and repairs – not simply supervise contractors

- Fluent in Afrikaans and English
- Able to write clear, professional emails
- Valid driver's licence and own reliable vehicle
- Must reside in Pretoria and be able to travel between Waltloo and Silverton daily
