Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a road rehabilitation project in Johannesburg CBD. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes

What you need

  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  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 5 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.

How to stand out

  • 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.
