Site Manager (Retail Construction) – Immediate Start

Here you run the site: labour, materials, quality and progress for the general building contractor in Alberton. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

You'll report in Alberton. Relocation is not covered for this one. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date

• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors

• Surveying skills with a total station
• Experience on JBCC or GCC 2015 contracts
• Concrete technology short course

• Cellphone and laptop supplied
• Site accommodation on out-of-town projects
• Vehicle allowance or company bakkie

• A common mistake is listing only company names. Say what you built, for example "32 walk-up flats, 3 storeys".
• Add a short project table to your CV: project name, type, rand value and your role. Contractors hire on project size.
