About Latham Projects

Latham Projects is a fast-growing Queensland building company specialising in commercial maintenance, renovations, insurance repairs, government projects and in-house Class A & Class B asbestos removal.

Our asbestos division delivers projects for Queensland Government departments, schools, commercial facilities, industrial sites, insurers and residential clients throughout South East Queensland and the Wide Bay region.

As our business continues to grow, we are seeking an experienced Asbestos Supervisor / Operations Manager to lead the operational delivery of our asbestos division.

This is a senior leadership position requiring someone who can confidently manage projects, lead crews, maintain compliance and help grow the division.
