Tiler (Floors & Wet Areas)

Put your trade to work on the housing development site in Tzaneen, with steady work for the length of the project. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Tzaneen-based, with most of your time spent at a housing development site.

• Mix mortar and plaster to the right ratio for the job
• Tile floors, showers and splashbacks, including cutting around fittings
• Cut, bend and tie reinforcing steel to the bending schedule
• Build and strip formwork for columns, beams and slabs
• Clean your tools and sweep your work area before knocking off
• Plaster walls and float them to a smooth, even finish
• Lay paving on a compacted, levelled bedding sand layer

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

• CETA or NQF 2 or 3 certificate in your trade
• Your own trowels, levels and tile cutter
• Trade test in bricklaying, carpentry or plastering

• PPE supplied: hard hat, gloves, reflective vest
• Weekly or fortnightly pay, always on time
• Transport from a pick-up point to site
• UIF and COIDA registration from day one

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