Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this high-rise residential project in Kempton Park needs someone who can do all three well. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The site is in Kempton Park; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment

Must-haves

  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • You write clear reports in English
  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight

Helpful, not essential

  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course
  • Fall protection planner training

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: First aid certificate, SACPCMP registration certificate plus copy of your ID (certified).
  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 5 working days, usually by phone.
