Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a shopping centre renovation in Mbombela. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Mbombela, Mpumalanga, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed

You'll need

  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Grade 8 or higher

Helpful, not essential

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

How to stand out

  • If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
