Job Description

Hard outdoor work on a school building project in Centurion, with a chance to learn a trade while you earn. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Centurion; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
  • Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
  • Clear rubble and load it into skips

You'll need

  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area

Extra points for

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor

On offer

  • Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: reference letter or phone number from a past foreman plus certified ID copy and proof of address in the area.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
