Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

Good, straight work gets noticed on this housing development site in Lephalale, and so does turning up every day. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is in Lephalale (Limpopo). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade

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

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