Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a shopping centre renovation in Polokwane, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll be based at a shopping centre renovation in Polokwane. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
Clear rubble and load it into skips
Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)
Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Polokwane really suit you before you apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Polokwane; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
