Construction Manager (Mid-Rise Buildings)

Keep the programme on track, the subbies busy and the site safe for the road and stormwater contractor in Sasolburg. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Sasolburg, Free State. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle

• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• 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
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

• Surveying skills with a total station
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects

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

• Add a short project table to your CV: project name, type, rand value and your role. Contractors hire on project size.
• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
