Building Site Supervisor (Commercial Projects)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the retail and commercial builder in Phalaborwa. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Home base is a retail and commercial builder on the Phalaborwa side of Limpopo. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing

• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience

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

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