How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): contact numbers of two previous foremen, any trade or skills certificate you hold plus green ID book or smart ID card.
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 8 working days.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
