Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

Put your trade to work on the shopping centre extension in Mahikeng, with steady work for the length of the project. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Home base is a shopping centre extension on the Mahikeng side of North West.

• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb

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

• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time

• 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".
