Site Manager | Aged Care Extension ($9M)
Location: Seymour, VIC
Salary: $145,000 - $165,000 + Super + Fuel Card
We are looking for an experienced, hands‑on Site Manager to take charge of a new $9M aged care project in Seymour, kicking off in the coming weeks.
The project is a 32-bed new build extension directly adjoining an existing, fully operational aged care facility. The scope runs from site establishment and groundworks through to structural, detailed internal fit‑out, and a substantial civil/landscaping package (hard paving, link‑ways, and gardens).
The program is a tight 12 months, so we need someone who knows how to set the pace early, drive subbies hard, and manage the delicate logistics of building next to vulnerable residents.
Key Responsibilities
-
Site Leadership: Run the day‑to‑day site operations from site shed setup through to handover and defects liability.
-
Program Delivery: Manage 2- to 4-week look‑aheads, coordinate trades, and ensure milestone dates are hit without cutting corners.
-
Live Environment Management: Liaise directly with the facility operations team to coordinate deliveries, noisy works, service cut‑ins, and dust/vibration hoarding to ensure zero disruption to resident care.
-
Safety & Compliance: Enforce site safety, conduct daily pre‑starts and toolbox talks, and ensure subcontractor SWMS and JSEAs are vetted and strictly followed.
-
Quality & Packages: Oversee structural works, internal finishes, and the external hard/soft landscaping packages, maintaining thorough ITPs and QA sign‑offs throughout.
-
Commercial Support: Work closely with the Project Manager and Contract Administrator on RFIs, site variations, and procurement lead times.
Requirements:
-
Proven Track Record: At least 4-5+ years running commercial, health, education, or aged care builds ($5-15M range) as the lead Site Manager.
-
Live Site Exposure: Prior experience working adjacent to operational aged care, healthcare, or active school environments is critical.
-
Trade / Qualifications: Carpentry trade background preferred, or a tertiary qualification in Construction Management / Building.
-
Trade Management: A firm, fair approach with local and metro subcontractors - someone who commands respect on site and solves issues before they stall work.
-
Certifications: Current White Card, First Aid (Level 2 minimum), and relevant site supervisor tickets.
-
Location: Based within commutable distance of Seymour (Mitchell Shire, Goulburn Valley, or Northern Suburbs) or willing to travel.
