About the Role
You'll be the person on site who makes the day work — leading the crew, keeping subcontractors moving, identifying issues before they become delays and setting the safety standard every day.
You'll report to a Senior Project Manager and work closely with the Project Manager, who will support you with programme, budget and client management while you take ownership of day-to-day site delivery.
This is a full-time, site-based role.
You'll be dedicated to one project for its duration, giving you the opportunity to properly own the job from start to finish rather than constantly moving between sites.
- What You'll Be Doing
- Lead and supervise on-site teams including Site Supervisors, Leading Hands and subcontractors
- Direct subcontractors and trades on a day-to-day basis
- Run pre-starts, toolbox talks and site coordination meetings
- Set and maintain a strong safety culture on site
- Drive production against the project programme and identify slippage early
- Manage site logistics, deliveries, plant, equipment and materials
- Monitor quality and ensure inspection and test requirements are maintained
- Maintain project quality documentation and ensure works meet required standards
- Represent the business on site with clients, consultants, certifiers and authorities
- Provide regular progress updates to the Project Manager
- Identify and elevate project risks, delays and issues before they impact delivery
- Coordinate defects, commissioning and handover through to practical completion
What We're Looking For
- Trade qualification and/or diploma or degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related discipline
- Several years' hands-on experience managing construction sites
- Experience leading site crews, subcontractors and multiple trades
- A proven ability to drive productivity and keep projects on programme
- A genuine safety-first mindset — you set the standard rather than simply ticking the box
- Strong organisation and the ability to manage a fast-moving site
- Clear, practical communication skills and the confidence to make decisions on site
- Ability to identify problems early and take action to resolve them
- Current White Card and driver's licence
- What's On Offer
- Ownership of site delivery
- Support from an experienced Senior Project Manager and Project Manager
- Vehicle
- Strong pipeline of national projects
- Opportunity for career progression as the business continues to grow
- A safety-focused organisation that gives site leaders the authority to lead
- Opportunities across Sydney, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane
- The opportunity to work on substantial projects with experienced construction professionals
