Tiler (Floors & Wet Areas)

The housing development site in Soweto needs skilled hands and helpers who know the basics of the building trade. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Soweto (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Carry bricks and materials to the workface and keep the scaffold clear
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings

• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Punctual every morning, even in winter
• Able to follow a foreman's instructions and read basic measurements

• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
