Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

The shopping centre extension in George needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

This post is in George (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule

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

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
