Job Description

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.

The work, day to day

  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work
  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent

What you need

  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
  • You write clear reports in English
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: SACPCMP registration certificate plus SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Bring a sample risk assessment or safety file index you drew up (remove client names). It shows your work better than a list.
  • Name the kind of projects you have covered, like roads, housing or wind farms. Clients want sector experience.
