General Foreman (Concrete & Structures)

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

Location: Brackenfell, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning

• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• 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

• Surveying skills with a total station
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate

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

• 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.
