Safety Representative Coordinator (Road Works)

Every person goes home in one piece. That is the job on this road construction project in Soweto. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Soweto-based, with most of your time spent at a road construction project.

• Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
• Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
• Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
• Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
• Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work

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

• Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
• Fall protection planner training
• ISO 45001 internal auditor course

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

• Put your SACPCMP registration number and category first. Many CVs without it are rejected without being read.
• Name the kind of projects you have covered, like roads, housing or wind farms. Clients want sector experience.
