Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

You'll run the site day to day for the low-cost housing developer in Richards Bay, from setting out to handover. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

You'll report in Richards Bay. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• 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

• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• 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
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

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

• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
• Mention the contract types you have worked on, like JBCC or GCC. It shows you understand claims and variations.
