About the Role
n
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.
n
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.
n
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.
n
What You'll Be Doing
n
n
Lead and supervise on-site teams including Site Supervisors, Leading Hands and subcontractors
n
Direct subcontractors and trades on a day-to-day basis
n
Run pre-starts, toolbox talks and site coordination meetings
n
Set and maintain a strong safety culture on site
n
Drive production against the project programme and identify slippage early
n
Manage site logistics, deliveries, plant, equipment and materials
n
Monitor quality and ensure inspection and test requirements are maintained
n




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