Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the school construction project in Kempton Park. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

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

• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Willing to move between sites in the same city

• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

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

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