Bricklayer (Face Brick & Plaster Brick)

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Roodepoort, with steady work for the length of the project. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• 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

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
