Job description

Sheranwala Developer seeks a disciplined Subedar to function as a Site Supervisor and Security Coordinator across its residential and commercial construction projects. The role demands a commanding presence to enforce site discipline, manage skilled and unskilled labour gangs, and ensure strict adherence to project timelines and safety protocols. The incumbent acts as the primary link between the site management office and the workforce, translating engineering instructions into executable daily tasks while safeguarding company assets and personnel.

Daily workflows commence with a pre-dawn muster parade and toolbox talk using standardized safety checklists and attendance registers. The Subedar allocates labour to designated zones via walkie-talkie communication, monitors concrete pours, shuttering, and excavation activities against approved method statements, and verifies incoming material quantities against delivery challans. Evening duties include securing the site perimeter, logging incidents in the site diary, and briefing the incoming shift. Career progression follows a structured path from Subedar to Senior Site Supervisor and ultimately Project Site Manager based on performance appraisals and certification upgrades.

Selection is conducted exclusively through a practical trade demonstration and oral viva voce; no written examination is administered. Candidates must physically demonstrate labour gang command, safety equipment inspection, and emergency response drills on a simulated site environment. The viva voce assesses knowledge of construction terminology, site security procedures, and situational judgement regarding labour disputes and hazard mitigation.

Key duties and responsibilities:

• Conduct daily muster parade and toolbox talk to assign tasks and communicate safety instructions
• Supervise labour gangs during excavation, concreting, and finishing works to maintain productivity targets
• Enforce mandatory PPE compliance and isolate hazardous zones using barrier tape and signage
• Verify incoming construction materials against delivery notes and report discrepancies to store keeper
• Maintain site security by controlling entry points, patrolling perimeter, and managing visitor logs
• Prepare and submit daily progress reports, labour attendance sheets, and incident logs to site engineer
