Site Manager (Retail Construction)

You'll run the site day to day for the retail and commercial builder in Sasolburg, from setting out to handover. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is Sasolburg-based, with most of your time spent at a retail and commercial builder. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

• Plan the week's work from the construction programme and brief the gangs each morning
• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Keep the site diary, daily labour returns and plant hours up to date
• Coordinate subcontractors for plumbing, electrical, roofing and glazing
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection

• Code 08 licence and your own reliable transport between sites
• At least 5 years on building or civil sites, 2 of them in a supervisory post
• 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

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

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

• 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.
