Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this renewable energy construction site in Mthatha needs someone who can do all three well. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent
  • Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
  • Investigate incidents and near misses and report them on time
  • Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height

What you need

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

Helpful, not essential

  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course
  • Fall protection planner training

What you get

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

  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: First aid certificate, SACPCMP registration certificate plus SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate.
