Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ECSA registration certificate, certified copy of your ID plus a list of projects with your role on each.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Kempton Park; 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.

How to stand out

Put your ECSA category and number under your name. For senior roles it is often the first filter.
If you hold a GCC, say which one and when you got it. It opens senior plant posts.
