Site Safety Officer (Civil Projects)

You'll keep the site legal and the workers safe for the high-rise residential project in Paarl. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Paarl-based, with most of your time spent at a high-rise residential project.

• Keep appointment letters and competency certificates in the file
• Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work
• Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
• Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
• Compile and maintain the site health and safety file under the Construction Regulations 2014
• Hold toolbox talks on topics that match the week's work
• Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment

• You write clear reports in English
• At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
• Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
• SAMTRAC or an NQF-accredited health and safety qualification
• Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014

• Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
• Fall protection planner training

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

• Put your SACPCMP registration number and category first. Many CVs without it are rejected without being read.
• Bring a sample risk assessment or safety file index you drew up (remove client names). It shows your work better than a list.
