Job Description

Every wall and slab on this townhouse construction site in Somerset West needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Somerset West-based, with most of your time spent at a townhouse construction site. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
Sign the daily safety talk register before work starts
Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
Clear rubble and load it into skips
Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks
Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer

You'll need

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Somerset West; 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.

How to stand out

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.
