Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the school construction project in Krugersdorp. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Krugersdorp. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says

• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• 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

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

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

• 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".
