Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this renewable energy construction site in Stellenbosch needs someone who can do all three well. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll report in Stellenbosch. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment
  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor

Must-haves

  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • You write clear reports in English
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course

What's in it for you

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