Painter's Assistant (Renovations) – Immediate Start

Every wall and slab on this shopping centre renovation in Mossel Bay needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

This post is Mossel Bay-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre renovation.

• Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
• Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
• Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer

• Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• Grade 8 or higher
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan

• Paid weekly or fortnightly
• Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
• Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant

• If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
• List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
