Job Description

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.

The work, day to day

  • 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

You'll need

  • 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

Nice if you have

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

What's in it for you

  • 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

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): contact numbers of two previous foremen plus any trade or skills certificate you hold.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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.
