Construction Health and Safety Agent – Fixed-Term

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this renewable energy construction site in Johannesburg CBD needs someone who can do all three well. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

You'll be based at a renewable energy construction site in Johannesburg CBD. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
• Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
• Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
• Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
• Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
• Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent

• You write clear reports in English
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
• Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
• SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
• Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
• At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites

• ISO 45001 internal auditor course
• Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects

• Travel and site allowances
• Laptop and data for reporting
• Paid SACPCMP renewal and CPD
• Clear growth path to a construction health and safety agent role

• Bring a sample risk assessment or safety file index you drew up (remove client names). It shows your work better than a list.
• Put your SACPCMP registration number and category first. Many CVs without it are rejected without being read.
