Tiler (Floors & Wet Areas)

You'll build it with your hands: walls, floors, roofs and finishes on the shopping centre extension in Gqeberha. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Location: Gqeberha, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• 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
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements
• 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

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

• Be ready to do a short practical test on site. Arrive early with your own tools if you have them.
• Say which trade you are strongest in first. "Bricklayer, 6 years, face brick" is better than "general construction".
