Bricklayer (Face Brick & Plaster Brick)

Put your trade to work on the school construction project in Rosslyn, with steady work for the length of the project. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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

• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• Transport from a pick-up point to site

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
