Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the civil engineering contractor in Johannesburg CBD. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is in Johannesburg CBD (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • 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
  • Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
  • Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
  • Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
  • Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates

What you need

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

Nice if you have

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

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: two references from project managers you worked under plus a project list with values, dates and your role on each.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 7 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • If you have SACPCMP registration, put the number and category under your name.
  • A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
