Electrician's Assistant (House Wiring) – Immediate Start

Hard outdoor work on a townhouse construction site in Polokwane, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Polokwane, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
• Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
• Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Grade 8 or higher
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather

• Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor
• Previous site work you can show with a reference
• A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

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

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