Plumber's Helper (Residential)

You'll mix, carry, dig and clean up so the tradespeople on a townhouse construction site in Boksburg can keep building. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Boksburg, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
• Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area
• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• Grade 8 or higher

• Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)
• Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor
• A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

• Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
• Paid weekly or fortnightly

• If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
• List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
