Job Description

You'll keep the site legal and the workers safe for the high-rise residential project in Pretoria East. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Pretoria East; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • 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
  • Write and review risk assessments and safe work method statements
  • Check that fall protection plans are in place for work at height
  • Track PPE issues and replace damaged equipment
  • Audit subcontractor safety files before they start work
  • Run site inductions for every new worker and visitor

What you need

  • You write clear reports in English
  • First Aid Level 1 at least
  • Confident enough to stop unsafe work, even when the programme is tight
  • At least 2 years as a safety officer on construction sites
  • Good understanding of the OHS Act and Construction Regulations 2014

Helpful, not essential

  • Experience on renewable energy or high-rise projects
  • ISO 45001 internal auditor course
  • Diploma in Safety Management

What's in it for you

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

How to apply for this job

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Pretoria East really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): SAMTRAC or safety qualification certificate, copy of your ID (certified) plus First aid certificate.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Pretoria East.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • 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.
