• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test

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

• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
