How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Paarl; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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