Carpenter (Roof Trusses & Ceilings)

The residential renovation company in Midrand needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

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

• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs

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