Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the civil engineering contractor in Bellville. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

Location: Bellville, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400

• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post

• Vehicle allowance or company bakkie
• Cellphone and laptop supplied
• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects

• 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".
