Plumber's Helper (Residential)

Hard outdoor work on a low-cost housing development in Centurion, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing development.

• Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
• Clear rubble and load it into skips
• Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
• Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
• Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
• Grade 8 or higher
• Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area

• Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)
• A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

• Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
• Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant

• 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.
