General Foreman (Concrete & Structures)

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the retail and commercial builder in Stellenbosch. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• 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
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning

• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• 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

• Surveying skills with a total station
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

• Project completion bonus linked to handover date
• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects
• 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.
