Job Description

You'll mix, carry, dig and clean up so the tradespeople on a townhouse construction site in Randburg can keep building. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Randburg. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
Clear rubble and load it into skips
Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision

What you need

Prepared to travel between sites in the area
Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
Willing to start early, often at 06:30
Grade 8 or higher
A clean record is preferred for some government sites

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Randburg really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Randburg; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

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.
If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
