Health and Safety Manager (Construction)

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this building contractor in Germiston needs someone who can do all three well. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

The site is in Germiston; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
