Painter (New Builds & Refurbishments)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the shopping centre extension in Pretoria West. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

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