Painter's Assistant (Renovations) – Immediate Start

Every wall and slab on this school building project in Worcester needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a school building project on the Worcester side of Western Cape. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
