Construction Manager (Mid-Rise Buildings)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the low-cost housing developer in Stellenbosch. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level

• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• 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
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post

• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

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