Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Kimberley, with steady work for the length of the project. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a housing development site in Kimberley. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off

• 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
