Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a road rehabilitation project in Hammarsdale. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll be based at a road rehabilitation project in Hammarsdale. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • 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

You'll need

  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Grade 8 or higher

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: any safety or scaffolding certificates, reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
  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 7 working days.

How to stand out

  • 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.
  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
