Job Description

You'll run the site day to day for the retail and commercial builder in Sandton, from setting out to handover. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll be based at a retail and commercial builder in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

The work, day to day

  • 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
  • Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
  • Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
  • Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle

Must-haves

  • 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
  • Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
  • You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

Helpful, not essential

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

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Sandton really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID, diploma or degree certificate plus two references from project managers you worked under.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.
