Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging) – Immediate Start

This retail and commercial builder in eMalahleni needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in eMalahleni; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level

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

• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• Concrete technology short course
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects

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

• If you have SACPCMP registration, put the number and category under your name.
• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
