Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

The housing development site in Isando needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Isando; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule

• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post

• 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.
