How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Upington; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

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".
