Job Description

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a road rehabilitation project in Somerset West. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: Somerset West, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

Clear rubble and load it into skips
Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day

What you need

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

Nice if you have

Registered on your ward or municipal job-seeker database
A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket
Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): reference letter or phone number from a past foreman, certified ID copy and proof of address in the area plus any safety or scaffolding certificates.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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.
