Job Description

Every wall and slab on this school building project in Vanderbijlpark needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is Vanderbijlpark-based, with most of your time spent at a school building project. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What your day looks like

  • Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day

What you need

  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Grade 8 or higher
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE

Helpful, not essential

  • Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
  • Previous site work you can show with a reference

What's in it for you

  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
