Assistant Site Agent (Roads & Stormwater)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the general building contractor in Rustenburg. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Rustenburg. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates

• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience

• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects
• Surveying skills with a total station

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

• Mention the contract types you have worked on, like JBCC or GCC. It shows you understand claims and variations.
• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
