Steel Fixer (Reinforcing)

Good, straight work gets noticed on this housing development site in Johannesburg CBD, and so does turning up every day. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll report in Johannesburg CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.
