Site Foreman (Residential Housing) – Immediate Start

You'll run the site day to day for the civil engineering contractor in Roodepoort, from setting out to handover. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Roodepoort. Relocation is not covered for this one.

• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion

• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• 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

• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• Surveying skills with a total station

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

• Mention the contract types you have worked on, like JBCC or GCC. It shows you understand claims and variations.
• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
