Job Description

The renewable energy construction site in Sasolburg needs a safety officer who is on the site, not stuck in the container office. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

  • 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
  • Prepare monthly safety statistics for the client's agent

You'll need

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

Extra points for

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

What's in it for you

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