Bricklayer (Face Brick & Plaster Brick)

Put your trade to work on the low-cost housing project in Centurion, with steady work for the length of the project. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Centurion, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible

• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
