The Raubex / WBHO / Cebekhulu Joint Venture (JV) is currently building a Skilled Labour Database for the SANRAL National Route N2 Section 34 upgrade project between Verzameling (KM 30) and Leinden (KM 60). This database will be used to identify qualified local workers who may be considered for employment during the road improvement project.
This is not a single job vacancy. Instead, it is a pipeline opportunity that can lead to employment as the construction project progresses. These databases are often the first step before large infrastructure projects begin recruiting.
For local residents with construction, safety, environmental, or coordination experience, this is exactly the kind of opportunity that can open doors.
