Job Description

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Bloemfontein needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

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

The work, day to day

  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes

What you need

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

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Bloemfontein 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 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. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Bloemfontein.

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.
  • 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.
