Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

Put your trade to work on the low-cost housing project in Bellville, with steady work for the length of the project. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing project. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off

• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
