Site Manager (Retail Construction)

You'll run the site day to day for the retail and commercial builder in Boksburg, from setting out to handover. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is Boksburg-based, with most of your time spent at a retail and commercial builder. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Order concrete, bricks and steel on time so gangs never stand idle
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection

• Working knowledge of the Construction Regulations 2014 under the OHS Act
• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes
• Good with MS Project or a similar programme tool

• Surveying skills with a total station
• Concrete technology short course
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate

• Project completion bonus linked to handover date
• 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".
