Site Labourer (Concrete Crew)

Every wall and slab on this townhouse construction site in Worcester needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The work is in Worcester, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
• Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
• Clear rubble and load it into skips
• Pass tools and materials to the plumber or electrician as needed
• Mix concrete and mortar by hand or with a small mixer
• Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor
• Dig trenches and foundations to the depth the foreman marks

• Grade 8 or higher
• You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
• Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather
• A clean record is preferred for some government sites
• Willing to start early, often at 06:30

• A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket
• Previous site work you can show with a reference
• Living near the site (many projects hire local labour)

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

• 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.
• If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
