Procore Construction Management SoftwareFortem Projects builds architecturally designed renovations, heritage restorations and bespoke new homes across Melbourne's inner suburbs.
We're not a volume builder — we take on a small number of complex, high-end projects and deliver them properly.We're looking for an experienced Site Manager to run these jobs (2M–8M+) from ground to handover.
It's a site-based role with real ownership: you lead the trades, drive the program, protect quality, and keep the site running to a standard that reflects the calibre of the work.Why this role is differentYou'll work directly with the directors.
Chris and Stu stay hands‐on across every project — you're not buried under three layers of management, and decisions get made quickly.The work is genuinely compelling.
Period homes, basements, structural work, high‐end joinery and finishes.
The detailed end of residential, not repetitive product.You run your site.
Lean team, real autonomy, and the backing to do the job well rather than being flogged across half a dozen jobs at once.Quality over quantity.
We'd rather do fewer projects to an exceptional standard than chase volume.What you'll be responsible forManaging all on-site construction activities in line with contract documentationLeading trades with clarity, structure and high standardsRunning effective,
