Plumber's Helper (Residential)

Every wall and slab on this townhouse construction site in Potchefstroom needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Potchefstroom; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
• Clear rubble and load it into skips

• Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks

• Willing to start early, often at 06:30
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Prepared to travel between sites in the area
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan

• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
