Site Manager (Retail Construction)

You'll run the site day to day for the low-cost housing developer in Benoni, from setting out to handover. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Benoni-based, with most of your time spent at a low-cost housing developer. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Measure completed work for monthly payment certificates
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Draw up snag lists and close them out before practical completion
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Check workmanship against drawings, specifications and SANS 10400

• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool
• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• 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

• Concrete technology short course
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate

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

• 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".
