Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the road and stormwater contractor in Roodepoort. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Roodepoort. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing

• 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
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites

• Surveying skills with a total station
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

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

• 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".
