For over 30 years, DASCO has been building more than homes. As a privately owned Australian developer and builder, our portfolio spans more than 7,000 dwellings valued in excess of $2.4 billion.
We’re a 4.5-star iCIRT rated builder, a certified Great Place to Work, and a team that genuinely lives our values: Excellence. Respect. Partnership. Reliability. Safety.
With a strong pipeline of major residential projects ahead, we’re looking for a Leading Hand ready to step up and help us deliver.
Job Description
he Leading Hand is responsible for supervising and coordinating tradespeople on-site, ensuring that work is carried out efficiently, safely, and to the required quality standards. This role provides hands‑on leadership, supporting the site team in maintaining smooth construction operations while enforcing safety, quality, and environmental compliance.
This is hands‑on leadership on the floor plate. Working closely with the Site Supervisor, you’ll be the person keeping the day‑to‑day moving; directing trades, managing sequencing and access, and making sure the programme stays on track without compromising on safety or quality.
Day to day, you will:
- Lead and coordinate site crews and trades across your area of the project
- Manage sequencing, access and materials movement to keep work flowing between trades
- Support the Site Supervisor in driving daily programme targets
- Champion safe work practices — toolbox talks, housekeeping, and calling out hazards before they become incidents
- Monitor quality of works and flag issues early
- Assist with site set‑up, deliveries, crane and hoist coordination as required
- Be a visible, reliable presence the crew can count on
Desired Skills and Experience
You’re an experienced tradesperson or site all‑rounder who’s ready to lead, or already leading, a crew. You know how a site runs, you communicate clearly, and people naturally look to you when things need sorting out.
You’ll bring:
- Proven experience on residential or commercial construction sites
- Current White Card (General Construction Induction)
- The ability to read drawings and understand construction sequencing
- Strong communication skills and a calm, practical approach under pressure
- A genuine commitment to safety — yours and everyone else’s
Highly regarded (but not essential):
- Experience on high‑rise or multi‑storey residential projects
- First Aid certificate
- Tickets such as EWP, forklift, dogman/rigging, or working at heights
- Previous experience leading or supervising a small crew
