Electrician's Assistant (House Wiring)

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a shopping centre renovation in East London. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is East London-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre renovation. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
• Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
• Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes

• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan

• Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
• Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor
• Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)

• Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
• Paid weekly or fortnightly

• If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
• List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
