Building Site Supervisor (Commercial Projects)

You'll run the site day to day for the low-cost housing developer in Sandton, from setting out to handover. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400

• 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
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act

• Concrete technology short course
• Surveying skills with a total station
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects
• Project completion bonus linked to handover date
• Cellphone and laptop supplied
• 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".
