Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a townhouse construction site in Bethlehem. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll be based at a townhouse construction site in Bethlehem. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What your day looks like

  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

Must-haves

  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather

Extra points for

  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Bethlehem really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
