Job Description

This civil engineering contractor in Vanderbijlpark needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

What your day looks like

Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection

You'll need

Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites

What you get

Cellphone and laptop supplied
Vehicle allowance or company bakkie
Project completion bonus linked to handover date
