Temporary

How2Apply Talent Network

This position requires local presence. Please view similar jobs below.

Strong, willing hands are wanted on a road rehabilitation project in East London. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

Location: East London, Eastern Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Help offload deliveries of steel, timber and pipes
  • Clean tools, mixers and wheelbarrows at the end of each day
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

Must-haves

  • Grade 8 or higher
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • You take safety rules seriously and wear full PPE
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30

On offer

  • Boots, hard hat and overalls issued on site
  • Paid weekly or fortnightly
  • Overtime on weekend pours and deadline days

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in East London really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around East London; 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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • List past sites by name and what you did there, like "mixed concrete, laid kerbs". It proves you have done real site work.
  • Government-funded projects often reserve jobs for people from the local ward. Bring proof of address and ask the site office about the local labour desk.
