Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Brakpan, with steady work for the length of the project. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at a housing development site in Brakpan. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
