Job Description

Every wall and slab on this low-cost housing development in George needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing development. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What your day looks like

  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

Must-haves

  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites

Extra points for

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

What's in it for you

  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around George.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Before you hit apply

  • 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.
