Job Description

Safety files, inspections and toolbox talks: this municipal infrastructure project in Soweto needs someone who can do all three well. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is in Soweto (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

The work, day to day

  • Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor
  • Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work

Must-haves

  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
  • You write clear reports in English

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • Fall protection planner training

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): copy of your ID (certified), First aid certificate plus SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Soweto.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put your SACPCMP registration number and category first. Many CVs without it are rejected without being read.
  • Bring a sample risk assessment or safety file index you drew up (remove client names). It shows your work better than a list.
