Job Description

You'll keep the site legal and the workers safe for the renewable energy construction site in Sasolburg. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a renewable energy construction site in Sasolburg. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

  • Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work
  • Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file

You'll need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • Fall protection planner training

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): First aid 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 6 working days, usually by phone.
