A growing national construction business is seeking experienced, hands-on Construction Managers to lead site operations across a range of projects.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a project from mobilisation through to practical completion, leading site teams, coordinating subcontractors and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard.
Multiple Locations — Sydney
Darwin
Melbourne
Perth
Brisbane
About the Role
You'll be the person on site who makes the day work — leading the crew, keeping subcontractors moving, identifying issues before they become delays and setting the safety standard every day.
You'll report to a Senior Project Manager and work closely with the Project Manager, who will support you with programme, budget and client management while you take ownership of day-to-day site delivery.
This is a full-time, site-based role. You'll be dedicated to one project for its duration, giving you the opportunity to properly own the job from start to finish rather than constantly moving between sites.
What You'll Be Doing
Lead and supervise on-site teams including Site Supervisors, Leading Hands and subcontractors
Direct subcontractors and trades on a day-to-day basis
Run pre-starts, toolbox talks and site coordination meetings
Set and maintain a strong safety culture on site
Drive production against the project programme and identify slippage early
Manage site logistics, deliveries, plant, equipment and materials
Monitor quality and ensure inspection and test requirements are maintained




Maintain project quality documentation and ensure works meet required standards
Represent the business on site with clients, consultants, certifiers and authorities
Provide regular progress updates to the Project Manager
Identify and elevate project risks, delays and issues before they impact delivery
Coordinate defects, commissioning and handover through to practical completion
What We're Looking For
Trade qualification and/or diploma or degree in Construction Management, Civil Engineering or a related discipline
Several years' hands-on experience managing construction sites
Experience leading site crews, subcontractors and multiple trades
A proven ability to drive productivity and keep projects on programme
A genuine safety-first mindset — you set the standard rather than simply ticking the box
Strong organisation and the ability to manage a fast-moving site
Clear, practical communication skills and the confidence to make decisions on site
Ability to identify problems early and take action to resolve them
Current White Card and driver's licence
What's On Offer
Ownership of site delivery
Support from an experienced Senior Project Manager and Project Manager
Vehicle
Solid pipeline of national projects
Opportunity for career progression as the business continues to grow
A safety-focused organisation that gives site leaders the authority to lead
Opportunities across Sydney, Darwin, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane
The opportunity to work on substantial projects with experienced construction professionals
