Assistant Site Agent (Roads & Stormwater)

This retail and commercial builder in Benoni needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is in Benoni (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle

• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites

• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate

• Vehicle allowance or company bakkie
• Cellphone and laptop supplied
• Project completion bonus linked to handover date
• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects

• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
• If you have SACPCMP registration, put the number and category under your name.
