Electrician's Assistant (House Wiring)

Temporary

How2Apply Talent Network

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

Every wall and slab on this school building project in Paarl needs labourers, and the crew needs one more. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a school building project in Paarl. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Carry bricks, blocks and cement bags to where the bricklayers work
  • Erect and strip shutters and simple scaffolding under supervision
  • Cut and lay paving bricks along string lines
  • Set up barriers, cones and signs around open trenches
  • Compact soil and layer bedding sand with a plate compactor

Must-haves

  • Grade 8 or higher
  • A clean record is preferred for some government sites
  • Prepared to travel between sites in the area
  • Willing to start early, often at 06:30
  • Able to follow instructions from a foreman or artisan
  • Physically strong and fit for outdoor work in all weather

Nice if you have

  • Previous site work you can show with a reference
  • Some experience with a jackhammer, grinder or plate compactor
  • A working-at-heights or scaffolding ticket

On offer

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: certified ID copy and proof of address in the area, any safety or scaffolding certificates plus reference letter or phone number from a past foreman.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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

How to stand out

  • 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.
  • If a foreman can vouch for you, put their number on your CV. Site hiring runs on word of mouth.
