  • Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
  • Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment
  • Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work

You'll need

  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014

Extra points for

On offer

  • Travel and site allowances
