Building Site Supervisor (Commercial Projects) – Experienced

This general building contractor in Kempton Park needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The work is in Kempton Park, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning

• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

• 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.
