Paving Team Labourer

Every wall and slab on this school building project in Kempton Park needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll report in Kempton Park. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.
