Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: SACQSP registration letter, if registered plus a certified copy of your identity document.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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 you are a candidate, say how far you are with your SACQSP logbook and when you plan to write the exam.
Recruiters often give a short take-off test. Practise measuring a simple house plan under time pressure before the interview.
