Plasterer (Internal and External Walls)

The school construction project in Welkom needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is a school construction project on the Welkom side of Free State.
