Position Purpose

This is a foundational leadership role in VanHomes' expansion into modular home construction. As the company's licensed Builder and Construction Manager, you will be the critical link between our factory-based manufacturing capability and compliant, high-quality onsite delivery — ensuring every modular home we build translates seamlessly from production line to finished, certified handover.

This is a genuinely ground-up opportunity: you won't just be supervising projects, you'll help build the systems, standards, and team the modular division runs on for years to come — from buildability feedback that shapes our pattern book, to setting the installation methodology and safety systems for a fast-scaling site team. For an experienced builder ready to move beyond running someone else's playbook, this is a rare chance to write it.

Key Responsibilities

- Act as the licensed construction supervisor / qualified supervisor for building works undertaken by the business.

- Supervise and oversee modular building works to ensure compliance with NSW contractor licence obligations, approved plans and specifications, NCC and Australian Standards, engineering and consultant documentation, and WHS requirements.

- Coordinate onsite installation and construction activities for modular accommodation projects.

- Work closely with the internal installation team to manage installation sequencing, site readiness, and project completion activities.

- Coordinate and supervise onsite trades, suppliers, subcontractors, and external service providers as required to support project delivery.

- Liaise with certifiers, engineers, consultants, trades, and regulatory authorities as required.

- Coordinate inspections, certification activities, and compliance documentation.

- Monitor workmanship, construction quality, and site compliance, and coordinate rectification of defects, non-conformances, and compliance issues.

- Oversee site safety, day-to-day construction activities, and project progress across active project sites.

- Support effective coordination between factory production, installation, and onsite construction activities to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient project execution.





- Support successful project completion, handover, and continuous improvement across construction and installation processes.

- Lead, supervise, and coordinate the site/installation team's day-to-day work, including task allocation, performance, and on-the-job training.

- Build team capability and capacity as the modular division scales, including input into recruitment of trades and site staff.

- Run toolbox talks and site briefings to keep the team aligned on program, safety, and quality standards.

- Review draftsman's plans and construction drawings from a constructability perspective, providing advisory feedback on practical issues before they reach site (e.g. tolerances, transport/cranage constraints, service penetrations, panel jointing).

- Provide buildability feedback into the Pattern Book / design selection process, helping ensure chosen designs are genuinely suited to modular/prefab delivery.

- Work with drafting and engineering to raise and help resolve design queries and variations quickly, minimising rework and site delays.

- Assist in establishing site-based construction processes, standard work sequences, and quality checkpoints specific to modular delivery.

- Contribute practical construction knowledge to factory fit-out and production line planning, helping ensure factory processes translate to a compliant, effective site install.

- Help shape installation methodology (crane lift sequencing, site prep standards, foundation/footing interfaces) as part of the division's setup phase.

- Support development of the division's site safety management system and standard operating procedures.

Essential Experience & Capability

- Minimum 5 years’ experience in residential, modular, prefabricated, transportable, or commercial construction supervision, installation coordination, or project delivery roles.





- Demonstrated experience supervising and managing residential, modular, or commercial construction projects in a site-based delivery environment.

- Strong understanding of NSW building licence obligations and construction supervision requirements.

- Experience coordinating onsite construction and installation activities.

- Strong understanding of NCC, Australian Standards, and WHS requirements.

- Ability to liaise effectively with certifiers, engineers, consultants, trades, and project stakeholders.

- Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

- Demonstrated ability to read and interpret architectural and engineering drawings and provide constructive, practical advisory feedback to designers/draftsmen.

- Experience leading a construction/installation crew, including rostering, supervision, and performance management.

- Experience contributing to the establishment of new construction processes, product lines, or business units (advantageous, given the greenfield nature of this role).

Essential Licensing / Certification Requirements

- NSW Contractor Licence or Qualified Supervisor Certificate – Building / General Building Work

- Current White Card (General Construction Induction)

- Current Driver Licence

Highly Desirable

- Certificate IV or Diploma in Building & Construction

- Experience in modular, prefabricated, or transportable building projects
