Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

This low-cost housing developer in Mahikeng needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

The site is in Mahikeng; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages

• 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
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites

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

• 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".
