Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this road construction project in Johannesburg CBD needs someone who can do all three well. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Johannesburg CBD-based, with most of your time spent at a road construction project. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What you'll actually do

  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
  • Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements

Must-haves

  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • You write clear reports in English
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites

Helpful, not essential

  • Diploma in Safety Management
  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • Fall protection planner training

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate, SACPCMP registration certificate plus copy of your ID (certified).
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

How to stand out

  • 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.
