Finishing Foreman (Fit-Out & Snagging)

You'll run the site day to day for the low-cost housing developer in Soweto, from setting out to handover. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Soweto. Relocation is not covered for this one. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle

• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act

• Concrete technology short course
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate

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

• 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".
