Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a townhouse construction site in Stellenbosch. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Stellenbosch (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

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

What you need

Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
A clean record is preferred for some government sites
Grade 8 or higher
You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
Prepared to travel between sites in the area

Extra points for

Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)
Previous site work you can show with a reference

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Stellenbosch; 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

Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
