Construction General Worker (Building Site) – Immediate Start

Every wall and slab on this townhouse construction site in East London needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
