Site Manager/Senior Site Manager/Construction Manager

Hawthorn East, Melbourne VIC | Full Time

Archmap is an integrated Design+Build company delivering architecturally designed luxury homes, boutique apartment developments and high-quality residential projects across Victoria, Sydney and Queensland. As our Melbourne construction team continues to grow, we are seeking experienced Site Managers, Senior Site Managers and Construction Managers to help lead the next stage of our growth.

We're looking for leaders who think ahead, take ownership, solve problems proactively and build high-performing teams that consistently deliver exceptional outcomes.

Appointments are based on demonstrated capability, leadership, performance and project delivery, not simply job title or years of experience.

About the Role

Reporting to the Construction Leadership Team, you will be responsible for leading architecturally designed luxury residential and boutique apartment projects from mobilisation through to practical completion.

This is a leadership role requiring exceptional planning, programme management, consultant coordination, quality assurance, commercial awareness, proactiveness and strong communication.

You will be expected to identify issues early, investigate solutions, maintain project momentum and provide practical recommendations before escalating significant matters.

Site Managers and Senior Site Managers are expected to lead from the front. While this is primarily a leadership role, you may be required from time to time to undertake practical on-the-tools work to support critical construction activities, maintain programme and assist the site team where operationally required.

Construction Managers will primarily provide operational leadership across multiple projects, mentoring project teams and improving construction systems and delivery performance. Again, while this is primarily a leadership role, you may be required from time to time to undertake practical on-the-tools work to support critical construction activities, maintain programme and assist the site team where operationally required.

Key Responsibilities

- Maintaining project quality, programme and budget objectives.

- Investigating issues thoroughly, identifying the underlying cause, evaluating practical solutions and making informed recommendations before escalating significant matters.
- Managing Buildertrend project records, reporting and construction documentation.
- Leading project meetings with clients, consultants and subcontractors.
- Monitoring Work Health & Safety compliance and maintaining a safe, organised and professional construction environment.
- Responding appropriately to workplace incidents and emergencies in accordance with Archmap's OHS procedures.
- Leading by example while creating a culture of accountability, professionalism and continuous improvement.
- Supporting practical site activities where operationally required (Site Managers and Senior Site Managers).

Construction Managers will also:

- Mentor Site Managers and Site Supervisors.
- Improve construction systems, planning processes and delivery consistency.

- Develop future construction leaders across the business.
