Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the housing development site in Roodepoort. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Roodepoort; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches

• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
