Job Description

Put your trade to work on the shopping centre extension in Epping, with steady work for the length of the project. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Epping, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
  • Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
  • Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
  • Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
  • Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs

What you need

  • Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
  • Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
  • Willing to move between sites in the same city
  • Punctual every morning, even in winter
  • Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

What's in it for you

  • Transport from a pick-up point to site
  • Chance to move up to a gang leader post
  • PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
  • UIF and COIDA registration from day one

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): green ID book or smart ID card, contact numbers of two previous foremen plus any trade or skills certificate you hold.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Epping.

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

  • Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
  • Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
