Plasterer (Internal and External Walls) – Immediate Start

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the low-cost housing project in Durban Central. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
