How to apply

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: a certified copy of your identity document, academic transcript and degree certificate plus SACQSP registration letter, if registered.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Umhlanga; 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

List projects with their contract value and whether you worked for the client side or the contractor side.
Recruiters often give a short take-off test. Practise measuring a simple house plan under time pressure before the interview.
