Site Manager in Adelaide

Based in Wingfield, with a 50/50 split between office and sites. Take ownership of major utility projects while enjoying greater balance between site delivery and home life.

CPP is a leading high-voltage infrastructure provider, connecting renewable energy projects to Australia’s electricity grid. As a member of Quanta Services, we specialise in the design, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of substations, transmission lines, wind farms, and battery storage systems.

As CPP continues to grow its Asset Management Services (AMS) capability, we are seeking an experienced Site Manager to lead the delivery of critical utility asset replacement projects across South Australia. Working closely with the Project Manager, you will take ownership of site delivery from mobilisation through to completion, coordinating personnel, contractors, documentation, safety, quality and stakeholder engagement to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

Initial projects will focus on critical utility asset replacement (UAR) works for one of our key clients, with site delivery taking place across the south-east region of South Australia. This role offers meaningful leadership responsibility and technically significant high-voltage work without the demands of a traditional FIFO or extended construction roster. You'll spend your time between project planning and preparation in Adelaide, site visits and leading outage delivery on site, providing a varied and rewarding mix of office and field-based work.

During outages, you'll be responsible for the entire site, lead crews of CPP employees and contractors, oversee site safety and compliance, coordinate outages and work sequencing, manage documentation and reporting requirements, and maintain strong relationships with client representatives and project stakeholders. With several projects secured and additional work currently under tender, this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team and play a key role in shaping how AMS delivers projects across the network.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, you will possess:

• Demonstrated experience as a Site Manager, Site Supervisor or senior field leader within HV electrical or utility infrastructure environments.
• Strong leadership experience managing site personnel, subcontractors and multiple stakeholders.
• Practical knowledge of construction sequencing, outage planning and site delivery.
• Proven ability to manage safety, quality, site documentation, inductions, permits and compliance requirements.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities and solve problems proactively.
• Electrical trade qualifications and a current Australian driver's licence.

Highly regarded:

• Experience working on high-voltage substations or asset replacement projects.
• Exposure to utility environments and transmission network operators.
• Experience managing mixed workforces of employees and subcontractors.
• Certificate IV in Safety, Civil Construction or related qualifications.
