Steel Fixer (Reinforcing)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the low-cost housing project in Mamelodi. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

The site is in Mamelodi; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings

• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test

• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• 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.
