Job Description

Keep the programme on track, the subbies busy and the site safe for the general building contractor in George. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID, a project list with values, dates and your role on each plus two references from project managers you worked under.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around George.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
If you have SACPCMP registration, put the number and category under your name.
