Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

The residential renovation company in George needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in George, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
