  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts

Must-haves

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

Nice if you have

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Richards Bay really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
