CBRE Excellerate is looking for suitable young people to apply for their Cleaner (ATM Services) opportunities. The closing date for applications is 27 February 2026.
Why this role could be a great fit for you
If you’re 18 or older, have a few years of cleaning experience and want a job that pays, gives you a reliable routine and opens the door to other career paths in facilities or security, this could be your next step.
- Real money while you learn – You’ll get a salary that’s competitive for a cleaning role in South Africa, with chances to grow into higher‑level facilities jobs.
- Work on the move – You’ll travel between ATM sites around Mbombela, so you’ll see different parts of the city and gain independence.
- Learn safety and tech skills – From using smart phone apps for checklists to spotting security threats, you’ll pick up handy skills that employers love.
Day‑to‑day what you’ll do
- Clean and sanitise ATM machines, the rooms they sit in, and the surrounding area.
- Check for skimming devices, vandalism or any damage and report it.
- Follow strict safety, security and access procedures every time you visit a site.
- Complete a quick digital report after each visit – the company likes to keep everything on the record.
- Keep the schedule, sometimes early mornings or late evenings – but the work is predictable and you can plan your day around it.
Who can apply?

If you’re a recent high‑school graduate or already working in a clean‑up role, this job gives you real‑world experience in a professional setting.

- ID copy – A scanned or photo copy of your South African ID.
- Driver’s licence – Proof you can drive.

Tips to make your application stand out
- Show enthusiasm – In your cover note, say why you want to keep ATMs clean and safe.
- Mention any tech tools you’ve used before – the company values digital reporting.
- Highlight teamwork – Even though you’ll work independently, showing you’re a team player helps.
- Be punctual – If you’re applying early, it signals you’re organized.

- Security roles – Because you’re already checking for skimming devices and vandalism.
- Corporate services – Your experience could land you a role in a larger facility or real‑estate services company like CBRE.
