Project Manager / Senior Site Supervisor in Perth

At Perway Construction Services, we’re not your average builder.

Based in Greenwood, we specialise in high-performance, energy-efficient homes, renovations, extensions and Eco Pods, using timber frame construction and passive house principles.

We care just as much about the client experience as we do about the final product. Our clients choose us because they want a home built properly, not just quickly.

Now, we’re looking for a Project Manager / Senior Site Supervisor who thinks the same way.

This is not a role for someone who reacts. It is for someone who leads.

The Role

You will own 3 to 6 active residential projects end-to-end, covering new builds, renovations, granny flats and Eco Pods, from prestart through to handover.

You split your time between site and office, and you are equally sharp at both.

• What you will be responsible for
• Full financial ownership from day one. Trade quote reviews, PO approvals, timesheets, WIP tracking and cost-to-complete reporting. No surprises at the end.
• Preparing and maintaining look-ahead schedules that actually get followed. You do not react to delays, you see them coming.
• Coordinating trades with precision. Your sites run smoothly because you are across the detail before anyone has to ask.
• Keeping clients informed, confident and positive. Clear communication on variations, approvals secured before work proceeds, and clients are never chasing you for an update.
• Weekly project reports: percentage completion, WIP status, cost-to-complete. Accurate. On time. Every time.
• Negotiating with suppliers and subcontractors to protect margin without compromising the build quality Perway is known for.
• Owning your admin. Records, photos, documentation, system updates, without being managed.
• Using Wunderbuild and Share Point consistently and accurately.
• Contributing to how Perway improves. If you see a better way, say so.

Who You Are

You are a structured, commercially sharp PM who knows that a well-run project is a financially controlled project.

You plan properly, write clearly, and your admin does not fall behind.

• Certificate III in Carpentry
• White Card, Driver Licence and First Aid Certificate
• Proven residential construction experience with demonstrated budget accountability
• Strong scheduling and planning capability, not just awareness of it
• Strong communication skills with trades, clients, suppliers and office team members
• Confident with phones, apps, emails, photos, construction management software and digital workflows
• Ability to read plans, specs, and scopes with confidence
• Minimum 3 years of residential construction supervision experience
• Excellent time management and organisational skills
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high standards of quality and workmanship
• Team Player and proactive attitude and willingness to take ownership
• Preferred
• Diploma of Building and Construction will be highly regarded
• Passive House or passive building experience
• Pro Clima wrapping training (or genuine interest in completing it)
• Wunderbuild experience or similar software
• Granny flat or modular dwelling delivery experience
• Hard no

Hard no: If you avoid admin, need constant follow-up or are chasing others to find out what is happening on your own sites, this is not your role.

• What Perway Offers
• $110,000 to $140,000 + super, based on experience and what you actually bring to the table
• Performance bonus of up to $15,000 per year, tied to project delivery, margin protection and client outcomes
• Direct access to the business owner. No corporate layers, no politics.
• Personal development coaching with a recognised business coach, built into the role, not a perk on paper.
• A team that takes the craft seriously. Passive House, Eco Pods, timber frame done right.
• Exposure to one of Perth's most progressive residential construction methods.
• Involvement in Build It Forward, our registered charity.
• A family business growing fast that wants you to grow with it.
• Family friendly and supportive work environment

How to Apply

In your cover letter, tell us about a project you managed where the budget or schedule was under pressure. What did you do, and what was the outcome?

Applications without a cover letter will not be reviewed.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide references before interview.

We hire for character as much as capability. Expect us to ask about both.
