Job Description

You'll mix, carry, dig and clean up so the tradespeople on a shopping centre renovation in Rustenburg can keep building. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
Clear rubble and load it into skips
Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed

What you need

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

Extra points for

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman, any safety or scaffolding certificates plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

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.

How to stand out

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