Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a shopping centre renovation in Upington. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Upington-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre renovation.

The work, day to day

  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes

You'll need

  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Grade 8 or higher

Extra points for

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

On offer

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Upington really suit you before you apply.
  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. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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

  • 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.
