Shutter Hand (Concrete Formwork)

Good, straight work gets noticed on this school construction project in Vereeniging, and so does turning up every day. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

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

• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job

• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Willing to move between sites in the same city

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time

• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
