SHEQ Officer (Building Contractor)

The road construction project in Johannesburg CBD needs a safety officer who is on the site, not stuck in the container office. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

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