Health and Safety Manager (Construction)

The building contractor in Cape Town CBD needs a safety officer who is on the site, not stuck in the container office. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

You'll report in Cape Town CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.
