Job Description

The housing development site in Worcester needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Worcester, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

The work, day to day

  • Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
  • Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
  • Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
  • Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
  • Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

What you need

  • 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
  • Punctual every morning, even in winter
  • Willing to move between sites in the same city

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: any trade or skills certificate you hold plus green ID book or smart ID card.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • 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.
