Our client is a specialist civil contractor delivering infrastructure across the power, utilities, transport, land development and renewable energy sectors. They have been awarded the civil package on a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in the NSW Riverina, and need an experienced Site Civil Supervisor on the ground immediately.
This role will suit a hands-on civil supervisor who leads from the front and knows how to drive crews to a tight program. It is not a project management role. A strong PM is already in place, and they need someone running the site day to day.
The Role
- You will lead 2 leading hands with crews of 4 under each, plus subcontractor wet hire crews.
- The fleet includes dozers, grader, compactor, rollers, water cart, 5t and 26t excavators and large bogie tippers, with a very high volume of truck movements every day.
Key Responsibilities
- Site leadership - Run daily pre-starts, allocate labour, plant and subcontractors, and keep crews productive and clear on what the day needs to deliver. Manage performance, fatigue and welfare, and resolve issues before they hit the program.
- Civil delivery - Supervise bulk earthworks, access roads and hardstands, trenching, conduit, pit and pipe, drainage, and concrete footings and equipment foundations. Build to IFC drawings, ITPs and hold points.
- Program and records - Plan daily and weekly works with the PM, track progress, flag delays early, and keep accurate diaries, timesheets, plant hours and quantities in Assignar. Record client directions and out-of-scope work.
- Safety - Lead SWMS, permits and toolbox talks, manage the interface between plant and people, and stop unsafe work.
About You
- Essential
- Very strong, hands-on experience in all three of bulk earthworks, pit and pipe, and footing construction.
- Proven site supervision of civil crews, plant operators and subcontractors.
- Experience managing heavy haulage and high-volume truck movements.
- Strong grasp of construction sequencing, drawings, specifications and ITPs.
- Confident using tablets and digital field reporting.
- Current driver's licence and White Card.
- Available to start on site immediately.
- Highly Regarded
- BESS, substation or switchyard construction experience.
- Utilities, renewables or transmission and distribution projects.
- Assignar or a similar field system.
- First Aid, plant tickets, Working Around Mobile Plant and traffic management.
What's on Offer
- $170k + super.
- Company vehicle, iPad and laptop.
- Roster with regular long weekends home, with flexibility once the project is up and running.
- Clear path to Construction Manager within 12 months for the right person.
- A key role on a major renewable energy project, running October 2026 to around June 2027.
