Bricklayer (Face Brick & Plaster Brick)

The residential renovation company in Randburg needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is in Randburg (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• 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
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post

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