Job Description

Every person goes home in one piece. That is the job on this building contractor in East London. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is East London-based, with most of your time spent at a building contractor.

The work, day to day

  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment
  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work

You'll need

  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites

What's in it for you

  • Paid SACPCMP renewal and CPD
  • Laptop and data for reporting
  • Travel and site allowances

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in East London really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SACPCMP registration certificate plus SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.
