Civil Labourer (Road Works)

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Welkom needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Welkom; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
