Buildcorp is a privately owned, family-led national construction company with over 36 years’ delivering complex commercial construction, fit-out, refurbishment and façade projects. Our Victorian business is in a strong growth phase — recently securing the delivery of a flagship Head Office and National Support Centre in the Melbourne CBD, alongside a growing pipeline of fit-out and interiors work. We’re known for our people-first culture, our quality standards, and the way we look after each other getting the job done.
About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Site Manager or Senior Site Manager to join our Victorian delivery team. This is a senior on-site leadership role responsible for the end-to-end delivery of commercial construction and fit-out projects — running site operations day-to-day, driving program, leading subcontractors, and holding the line on quality, safety and client experience.
You’ll be stepping into a role that’s been held to a very high standard, so we’re looking for someone who can bring both the technical craft and the leadership presence to match.
Key responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end site delivery from early works through to practical completion and handover
- Drive the construction program — look-aheads, sequencing, resource planning and productivity
- Lead and coordinate large multi-disciplinary subcontractor teams across all trades
- Own site safety culture and WHS compliance across every work front
- Set and maintain quality standards aligned with Buildcorp’s reputation and client expectations
- Partner closely with the lead delivery team and commercial team to deliver on time, on budget, and on brief
- Manage client, consultant and authority interface on site
- Mentor and develop junior site staff
What we’re looking for
- Proven track record as a Site Manager (or Senior Site Manager) delivering commercial construction, fit-out and / or refurbishment projects in Melbourne
- Strong technical understanding of fit-out and interiors (joinery, services coordination, finishes trades) and ideally live-environment / occupied-building experience
- Strong subcontractor leadership — able to get the best out of trade teams through respect, clarity and consistency
- Clear communicator who can represent Buildcorp professionally with clients, consultants, authorities and subbies
- Relevant qualifications in Building, Construction Management or trade background
- Experience within a Tier 2 head contractor environment preferred
What’s on offer
- High-profile Victorian project portfolio
- Genuine career pathway — the role you’re stepping into was recently vacated by a long-tenured team member moving internally
- Modern South Yarra office with a collaborative, people-first culture
- Active social calendar and a team that genuinely enjoys working together
Buildcorp is committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and we encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
