Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this road construction project in Kariega needs someone who can do all three well. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Kariega, Eastern Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent

You'll need

  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight

Helpful, not essential

  • Diploma in Safety Management
  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course

What's in it for you

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Kariega really suit you before you apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate plus First aid certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.
