Job Description

This retail and commercial builder in Kathu needs someone who can read the drawings and get a building out of the ground. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

What your day looks like

  • Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
  • Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400
  • Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
  • Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
  • Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion

What you need

  • Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
  • Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
  • National Diploma or BTech in Building or Civil Engineering, or a trade background with site experience

Helpful, not essential

  • Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate
  • Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts

What's in it for you

  • Site accommodation on out-of-town projects

  • Project completion bonus linked to handover date
