Job Description

The renewable energy construction site in Bethlehem needs a safety officer who is on the site, not stuck in the container office. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Bethlehem. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work

You'll need

  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • You write clear reports in English
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification

Helpful, not essential

  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course
  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • Fall protection planner training

What's in it for you

  • Clear growth path to a construction health and safety agent role
  • Paid SACPCMP renewal and CPD
  • Laptop and data for reporting
  • Travel and site allowances

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: copy of your ID (certified), SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate plus First aid certificate.
  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 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Bethlehem.

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.

  • Name the kind of projects you have covered, like roads, housing or wind farms. Clients want sector experience.
