Tiler (Floors & Wet Areas)

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

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Prime and paint walls, ceilings and woodwork in two or three coats
• Fix roof trusses, purlins and brandering for ceilings
• Lay face brick and plaster brick to line, level and plumb
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish

• Physically strong enough for a full day of lifting and bending outside
• Willing to move between sites in the same city
• Understands basic site safety like scaffolds and open trenches
• Proven experience in at least one trade, shown by references or a practical test
• Safety boots of your own for the first week, if possible
• Punctual every morning, even in winter

• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• Experience on NHBRC-registered housing projects
• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade

• UIF and COIDA registration from day one
• Chance to move up to a gang leader post
• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Transport from a pick-up point to site

• 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.
