Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

The school construction project in Bellville needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The work is in Bellville, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule

• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
