Paving Team Labourer

Every wall and slab on this school building project in Midrand needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Midrand (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
• Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer

• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area
