About the Company
Our client is a well-established Queensland commercial builder, founded in **** and now a team of around 80 across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Townsville, turning over $100M+ a year.

The Opportunity
We're looking for an experienced
Site Foreman
to run the workface on new build commercial projects across South East Queensland — setting daily priorities, sequencing trades, holding the line on safety and quality, and keeping the Site Manager and PM informed.
The work is genuinely varied — Defence facilities, hospitals, childcare, education and retail — often on live or occupied sites.
High-rise experience is not required
; what matters is solid ground-up commercial experience, structure through to finishes.
Key Responsibilities
Run the day-to-day workface, set priorities and sequence trades
Coordinate subcontractors — inductions, pre-starts, toolbox talks
Own site safety in practice: SWMS, permits,



exclusion zones
Drive quality via set-out checks, hold points, ITPs and inspections
Track progress against the look-ahead programme, flag slippage early
Manage materials, plant, deliveries and site presentation
Maintain accurate site records and daily reporting
Coordinate access and staging on live/occupied sites
Run defect close-out through to practical completion and handover
What You'll Bring
Trade background (carpentry preferred) or equivalent site experience
Proven Foreman/Leading Hand experience on new build commercial projects
Comfortable across the full build — civil, structure, services, fit-out and finishes
QLD White Card plus relevant tickets; Blue Card and Defence clearance eligibility highly regarded
Working knowledge of the NCC, Australian Standards and QLD WHS obligations
Able to read architectural, structural and services documentation
Experience with site software (HammerTech, Procore or similar)
A direct, calm communicator who holds subbies to account
Why Apply
Genuine project variety — not the same building on repeat
Robust secured workbook and a clear path to Site Manager
Structured mentoring and development, not sink-or-swim
Direct access to leadership, backed by proper systems and support
