Job Description

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Atlantis needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day

  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather

Extra points for

  • Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database

  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
