Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

The school construction project in Hammarsdale 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.

This post is in Hammarsdale (KwaZulu-Natal). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• 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
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
