Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a road rehabilitation project in Sandton. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

The work, day to day

  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day

What you need

  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather

What's in it for you

  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • 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. 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. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
