Bricklayer (Face Brick & Plaster Brick)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the school construction project in East London. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in East London, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.
