Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the residential renovation company in Kathu. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Kathu. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
