A client of Hire Resolve is urgently looking for an experienced Construction Manager to take charge of major pipeline projects in Cape Town. This is a 12-month contract role at executive level, offering a monthly salary of R133,300 to R158,300, with the final figure based on experience. The advert is short and direct: it is aimed at a seasoned construction professional who has already delivered large pipeline work and who carries professional registration.
The listing was posted on 29 October 2026 and, at the time of writing, was set to expire in 16 days, so interested candidates should not leave an application sitting. The full advertised title is “Construction Manager (Pipelines)”, and the listing position field is Contract Executive.
About the company and the work

The client behind this vacancy is not named in the advert. What is clear is the urgency: the client is seeking this expertise now, for pipeline construction work based in Cape Town. Pipeline projects at this level typically involve long linear construction sites, multiple work fronts, strict safety and quality controls, and close coordination with engineers, contractors and clients. The advert itself does not list day-to-day duties, so candidates should read the original advert and confirm the scope of work before applying.

- Construction Manager for major pipeline projects, based in Cape Town.
- A 12-month contract appointment.
- An executive-level contract position, listed as Contract Executive.
- A salary of R133,300 to R158,300 per month, described by the client as highly competitive and based on experience.

Requirements
Only what the source advert states is listed here:

Where to find and apply safely
Apply through the original CareerJunction advert using the Apply button on this page, which points to the original listing. Do not pay anyone to apply for this role, and do not share banking details or identity documents with anyone other than through the official application route. The visible advert text removes the recruiter’s email address and website link, so no contact email is given here. Use the original advert’s Apply route.

- Put your SACPCMP or ECSA registration front and centre, with your registration details ready.
- Make your civil engineering or construction management degree easy to find on your CV.
- Because the advert is brief and lists no separate duties, prepare questions about the project scope, site locations, team size and reporting lines for the interview.
- Be ready to start at short notice, given the urgent wording of the advert.
How the process works
Submit your application through the original advert. The advert states that Hire Resolve will contact suitable candidates telephonically within 3 days. If you are not suitable for this vacancy, your CV will be kept on file and you may be contacted about future vacancies.
