About the Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced Construction Manager to lead the on-site delivery of major renewable energy projects.
Your first project will be the Fraser Coast Hybrid Solar and BESS Project, located near Teebar and Brooweena, approximately 50 kilometres southwest of Maryborough in the Fraser Coast region of Queensland.

Working closely with the Project Manager, you'll be the driving force behind day-to-day delivery on one of Queensland's largest renewable energy builds.

- Coach and develop your Supervisors, and report progress and cost-to-complete to the Project Manager.
What You’ll Bring

- Strong understanding of construction methodologies, sequencing and site logistics.
- Demonstrated leadership managing site-based supervisory teams.
- Solid knowledge of WHS legislation and safe work practices.
