Job Description

This road and stormwater contractor in Cape Town CBD needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

What you'll actually do

  • Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
  • Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
  • Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
  • Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
  • Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection

What you need

  • You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
  • Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
  • Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
  • National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience

On offer

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