Steel Fixer (Reinforcing)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the shopping centre extension in Randburg. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

Home base is a shopping centre extension on the Randburg side of Gauteng.

• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Wear your hard hat, boots and harness wherever the foreman says
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer
• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches

• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest

• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
• Bring photos of your work on your phone. A foreman believes a straight wall more than a long CV.
