Steel Fixer (Reinforcing) – Immediate Start

The low-cost housing project in Umhlanga needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Umhlanga. Relocation is not covered for this one.
