Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a school building project in Middelburg (MP). Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Middelburg (MP); early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

The work, day to day

  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips

What you need

  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any safety or scaffolding certificates plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
  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 8 working days.

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

How to stand out

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