Site Manager (Retail Construction)

You'll run the site day to day for the road and stormwater contractor in Phalaborwa, from setting out to handover. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

This post is in Phalaborwa (Limpopo). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection
• Set out foundations, grid lines and levels with the surveyor or a dumpy level
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent

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

• Concrete technology short course
• SACPCMP registration as a Construction Manager or Candidate
• Worked on CIDB grade 6 or higher projects

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

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