Construction Health and Safety Agent

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this renewable energy construction site in George needs someone who can do all three well. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in George; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.
