  • 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
  • Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
  • Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
  • Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400

You'll need

  • Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
  • National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
  • Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
  • You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

Helpful, not essential
