Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments) – Permanent

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Germiston, with steady work for the length of the project. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

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

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
