Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

Keep the programme on track, the subbies busy and the site safe for the low-cost housing developer in Middelburg (MP). You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Middelburg (MP)-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing developer. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date

• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post

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

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