Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a townhouse construction site in Midrand. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at a townhouse construction site. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

The work, day to day

  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

On offer

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

How to apply

  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: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman 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 10 working days.

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

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

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
