Tiler (Floors & Wet Areas)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the low-cost housing project in Benoni. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

Location: Benoni, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter

• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

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