Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork) – Immediate Start

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the shopping centre extension in Kempton Park. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

This post is Kempton Park-based, with most of your time spent at a shopping centre extension. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
