Job Description

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Centurion 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 Centurion; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work

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
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Grade 8 or higher

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • 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.
  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
