The Opportunity

n

We're hiring a Concrete & Formwork Foreman to take full ownership of our site operations — running crews, driving the programme and delivering structural and decorative concrete packages from set-out to handover. This is a leadership role for someone who can run a job front-to-back: plan the work, lead the crew, coordinate pours and formwork cycles, and represent Grantscapes professionally with builders, engineers and inspectors.

n

You'll work in close conjunction with our Project Manager and Director, and lead our site Leading Hands and crews on the ground.

n

Trial period: The role starts with a 3-month trial engaged either as a subcontractor or on a casual basis, so both sides can confirm it's the right fit. On successful completion, the role converts to a permanent full-time position.

n

n

n
- Run day-to-day site operations across concrete and formwork scopes — slabs, footings, walls, stairs, external paving and decorative/architectural concrete.
n
- Lead, mentor and set the pace for crews of up to 10, including subcontract labour.
n
- Plan and sequence formwork,



reinforcement and pour cycles against the head contractor's programme.

- Read drawings/specs, set out, confirm levels, check dimensions and tolerances; resolve buildability issues early.
n
- Coordinate concrete supply, pumps, trucks, cranage, plant bookings and deliveries.
n
- Hands-on where needed during pours, screeding and finishing — lead from the front.
n
- Quality control: ITPs, hold points, defect prevention, as-built mark-ups and photo records.
n
- Safety leadership: run toolbox talks, SWMS/JSA compliance, site inductions, housekeeping and clean, organised sites.
n
- Liaise professionally with builder Site Managers/Foremen, engineers and inspectors; raise RFIs and clarifications early.
n
- Report to and work in conjunction with the Project Manager and Director on programme, labour, materials and project delivery.
n
- Direct and support site Leading Hands — set priorities, delegate scopes and keep crews aligned across multiple work fronts.
n
- Manage variations, day-work records and measure-ups where required.
n
- Build and maintain a respectful, high-standard site culture — skills training and crew development.
