Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the school construction project in Prospecton. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Willing to move between sites in the same city

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
