Job Description

You'll mix, carry, dig and clean up so the tradespeople on a school building project in Isando can keep building. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

Location: Isando, 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.

What your day looks like

  • Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

Must-haves

  • Grade 8 or higher
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30

Extra points for

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Isando really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Tips to get shortlisted

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