Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a road rehabilitation project in Komani, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll be based at a road rehabilitation project in Komani. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

The work, day to day

  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts

Must-haves

  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Komani.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
  • If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
