Paving Layer (Interlocking Pavers) – Immediate Start

Good, straight work gets noticed on this low-cost housing project in Rosslyn, and so does turning up every day. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Rosslyn; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
