Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the civil engineering contractor in Durban Central. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The work is in Durban Central, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
