Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Lephalale, with steady work for the length of the project. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Lephalale, Limpopo, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
