Job Description

Every person goes home in one piece. That is the job on this municipal infrastructure project in Durban Central. It suits someone who likes knowing exactly what a good day's work looks like.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What your day looks like

  • Inspect scaffolds, excavations and edge protection daily
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work

You'll need

  • SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014
  • You write clear reports in English
  • SACPCMP registration as a Construction Health and Safety Officer

What's in it for you

  • Travel and site allowances
  • Paid SACPCMP renewal and CPD
  • Clear growth path to a construction health and safety agent role

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate, copy of your ID (certified) plus First aid certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 6 working days, usually by phone.
