Site Foreman (Residential Housing) – Fixed-Term

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the retail and commercial builder in Johannesburg CBD. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The work is in Johannesburg CBD, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning

• National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors

• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate
• Surveying skills with a total station

• Project completion bonus linked to handover date
• Vehicle allowance or company bakkie
• Cellphone and laptop supplied
• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects

• If you have SACPCMP registration, put the number and category under your name.
• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
