Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 listing, using the Apply button on this page. The listing asks applicants to submit a CV to the address given in the original advert. Do not pay anyone for this vacancy, and confirm the details in the original advert before sharing personal documents.
Practical tips

- Give examples of leading site teams and coordinating subcontractors across several projects at once.
- Mention any professional registration or trade certification you hold, as it is listed as advantageous.
