Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a road rehabilitation project in George, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

The site is in George; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What you'll actually do

  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

Must-haves

  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area

Nice if you have

  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket
  • Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

On offer

  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.
