Plasterer (Internal and External Walls) – Fixed-Term

Put your trade to work on the low-cost housing project in Atlantis, with steady work for the length of the project. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Home base is a low-cost housing project on the Atlantis side of Western Cape.
