We’re looking for a Site Lead / Leading Hand who is a genuine construction all-rounder with the drive and capability to take ownership on site. You don't need to have spent years working as a Site Manager. Attitude, initiative, practical ability and willingness to develop are just as important to us as years of experience.
This is a hands-on role. You’ll help run projects on the ground while still being actively involved in getting the work completed. One day you might be coordinating subcontractors and dealing with a client; the next you could be setting out works, organising materials or jumping on the tools to keep the project moving.
You’ll coordinate trades and subcontractors, manage day-to-day site activities, organise materials and deliveries, maintain safety and quality standards and work closely with the Director and project team. Our projects are primarily focused on commercial, remediation and selected residential works sub $2M throughout Sydney, with our Business based in Parramatta/Hills District.
This role would particularly suit a trade-qualified carpenter or capable construction all-rounder who is ready to step into greater site responsibility, rather than someone looking for a traditional management only position. There is genuine opportunity to develop into a larger role within RWC as the business continues to grow. Immediate start available for the right person.

- Monitor workmanship and maintain high-quality standards

- Communicate professionally with subcontractors, clients and stakeholders
