How to apply

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): any safety or scaffolding certificates, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Mthatha; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.

Before you hit apply

List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
