Site Labourer (Concrete Crew)

Every wall and slab on this low-cost housing development in Kempton Park needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Kempton Park, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Clear rubble and load it into skips

• Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches

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

• Previous site work you can show with a reference
• Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)
• Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database

• Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
• Paid weekly or fortnightly
• Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days
• Learn from artisans with a chance to move up to assistant

• Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
• List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
