How to apply

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Midrand.

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.

Before you hit apply

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.
