Construction Manager (Mid-Rise Buildings)

You'll run the site day to day for the low-cost housing developer in Vanderbijlpark, from setting out to handover. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Vanderbijlpark, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent

• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience

• Surveying skills with a total station
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

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