Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a shopping centre renovation in Sasolburg. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Sasolburg-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre renovation. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

You'll need

  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. 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.
  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.
