Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

The residential renovation company in Soweto needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

This post is Soweto-based, with most of your time spent at a residential renovation company.

• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear

• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter

• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
