Bricklayer's Assistant

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Pinetown needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Pinetown, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
• Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
• Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Grade 8 or higher
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area

• Paid weekly or fortnightly
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
• Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
• Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

• 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.
