Every wall and slab on this road rehabilitation project in Vereeniging needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

Willing to start early, often at 06:30

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: any safety or scaffolding certificates, reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Vereeniging; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Before you hit apply

List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
