Job Description

Grade 8 or higher
Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
Prepared to travel between sites in the area
You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE

Helpful, not essential

What's in it for you

Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Bethlehem really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any safety or scaffolding certificates, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Bethlehem; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
