Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

The low-cost housing project in Centurion needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a low-cost housing project on the Centurion side of Gauteng.

• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

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

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
