General Foreman (Concrete & Structures) – Permanent

Keep the programme on track, the subbies busy and the site safe for the retail and commercial builder in eMalahleni. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The work is in eMalahleni, Mpumalanga, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent

• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

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

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

• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
• Add a short project table to your CV: project name, type, rand value and your role. Contractors hire on project size.
