Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

The school construction project in Pretoria West needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Pretoria West, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

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

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
