Assistant Site Agent (Roads & Stormwater)

You'll run the site day to day for the general building contractor in Vanderbijlpark, from setting out to handover. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Vanderbijlpark. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.
