Construction General Worker (Building Site)

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Benoni needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

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