Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

Put your trade to work on the school construction project in Ermelo, with steady work for the length of the project. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Ermelo-based, with most of your time spent at a school construction project.

• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
