JOB SUMMARY

We are looking for a competent and experienced Works Supervisor to oversee and coordinate construction activities on site. The ideal candidate must be a multi-skilled professional capable of bridging the gap between technical engineering requirements and practical site execution. This role requires a hands-on individual who can perform engineering tasks, conduct surveying, and effectively supervise teams as a Senior Foreman.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Site Supervision & Foreman Duties:

  • Directly supervise and coordinate the activities of construction workers, subcontractors, and equipment operators.
  • Ensure work is executed according to drawings, specifications, and the construction schedule.
  • Enforce strict adherence to health and safety regulations on-site.

Engineering & Technical Duties:

  • Interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and specifications to guide the construction process.
  • Conduct quality control checks to ensure materials and workmanship meet the required engineering standards.
  • Prepare daily site reports, progress charts, and work programs.

Surveying:

  • Perform topographical surveys, setting out, and leveling using modern surveying equipment (e.g., Total Stations, GPS, Dumpy Levels).
  • Take precise measurements for quantification and verification of completed works.

Cross-Sector Coordination:

  • Apply broad construction knowledge to manage works across different sectors, including roadworks (earthworks, drainage, surfacing) and building projects (structural, finishing, MEP coordination).

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

Education: Minimum of a Diploma in Civil Engineering, Construction Management, or a related technical field. A Degree is an added advantage. Trade certification with extensive supervisory experience will also be considered.

Experience: Minimum of 5 years’ proven experience in a supervisory role within the construction industry.

Multi-Sector Knowledge: Demonstrated experience working on both Road/Infrastructure projects and Building/Structural projects is highly desirable.

Technical Skills:

  • Proficiency in surveying and setting out (essential).
  • Ability to read and interpret complex engineering drawings.
  • Proficiency in MS Office and basic project management software.

Personal Attributes:

  • Strong leadership and people management skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and decision-making skills.
  • High level of integrity and professional ethics.
  • Willingness to work in the field and travel to various project sites.

REMUNERATION

A competitive salary will be offered to the successful candidate, commensurate with qualifications and experience.
