Job Description
Licensed Builder and Construction Manager - Modular Accommodation
n
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.
n
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.
n
Key Responsibilities
n
Act as the licensed construction supervisor / qualified supervisor for building works undertaken by the business.
n
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.
n
Coordinate onsite installation and construction activities for modular accommodation projects.
n
Work closely with the internal installation team to manage installation sequencing, site readiness, and project completion activities.
n
Coordinate and supervise onsite trades, suppliers, subcontractors, and external service providers as required to support project delivery.
n
Liaise with certifiers, engineers, consultants, trades, and regulatory authorities as required.
n
Coordinate inspections, certification activities, and compliance documentation.
n
Monitor workmanship, construction quality, and site compliance, and coordinate rectification of defects, non-conformances, and compliance issues.
n
Oversee site safety, day-to-day construction activities, and project progress across active project sites.
n
Support effective coordination between factory production, installation, and onsite construction activities to ensure safe, compliant, and efficient project execution.
n
Support successful project completion, handover,



and continuous improvement across construction and installation processes.
n
Lead, supervise, and coordinate the site/installation team's day-to-day work, including task allocation, performance, and on-the-job training.
n
Build team capability and capacity as the modular division scales, including input into recruitment of trades and site staff.
n
Run toolbox talks and site briefings to keep the team aligned on program, safety, and quality standards.
n
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).
n
Provide buildability feedback into the Pattern Book / design selection process, helping ensure chosen designs are genuinely suited to modular/prefab delivery.
n
Work with drafting and engineering to raise and help resolve design queries and variations quickly, minimising rework and site delays.
n
Assist in establishing site-based construction processes, standard work sequences, and quality checkpoints specific to modular delivery.
n
Contribute practical construction knowledge to factory fit-out and production line planning, helping ensure factory processes translate to a compliant, efficient site install.
n
Help shape installation methodology (crane lift sequencing, site prep standards, foundation/footing interfaces) as part of the division's setup phase.
n
Support development of the division's site safety management system and standard operating procedures.
n
Essential Experience & Capability
n
Minimum 5 years' experience in residential, modular, prefabricated, transportable, or commercial construction supervision, installation coordination, or project delivery roles.

designers/draftsmen.
n

construction/installation
crew, including rostering, supervision, and performance management.
