Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the school construction project in Mokopane. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Mokopane-based, with most of your time spent at a school construction project. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

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

• 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".
