Site Manager (Retail Construction)

You'll run the site day to day for the road and stormwater contractor in Tembisa, from setting out to handover. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Tembisa-based, with most of your time spent at a road and stormwater contractor. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Chair the weekly site meeting and record actions for the principal agent
• Book NHBRC and municipal inspections at the right stages
• Run toolbox talks and support the safety officer on Construction Regulations compliance
• Check reinforcing, shuttering and cover blocks before calling for a pour inspection

• 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
• Firm with labour, fair with subcontractors

• You can read architectural and structural drawings and pick up clashes

• Project completion bonus linked to handover date

• Add a short project table to your CV: project name, type, rand value and your role. Contractors hire on project size.
