Job Description

Put your trade to work on the residential renovation company in Coega, with steady work for the length of the project. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Coega; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
  • Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
  • Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
  • Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
  • Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
  • Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
  • Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

You'll need

  • Willing to move between sites in the same city
  • Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
  • Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
  • Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

Helpful, not essential

  • Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
  • Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

What you get

  • Chance to move up to a gang leader post
  • UIF and COIDA registration from day one
  • Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
  • PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
