Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a school building project in Boksburg, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Boksburg. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day

  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE

Helpful, not essential

  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor
  • Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)

What you get

  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any safety or scaffolding certificates, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted
