Electrician's Assistant (House Wiring)

You'll mix, carry, dig and clean up so the tradespeople on a low-cost housing development in Tembisa can keep building. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

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

• Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
• Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
• Clear rubble and load it into skips
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
• Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision

• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Grade 8 or higher
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area

• Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

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