General Foreman (Concrete & Structures)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the low-cost housing developer in Germiston. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

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

• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• 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

• 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
• 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
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool

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

• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
• Mention the contract types you have worked on, like JBCC or GCC. It shows you understand claims and variations.
