Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

Good, straight work gets noticed on this school construction project in Boksburg, and so does turning up every day. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Boksburg-based, with most of your time spent at a school construction project.

• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
