About the company

Our client is a Western Australian owned and operated commercial builder that has been delivering quality projects for close to 40 years. They are an established Tier 2 builder with genuine breadth across apartments and mixed-use, health and aged care, education, commercial and industrial, and public buildings. As a pre-qualified State Government builder with a strong reputation and repeat clients, they have the standing and the secured pipeline to back it.

Much of the current book is multi-residential apartment work, a good portion of it behind government-backed Early Contractor Involvement, with several contracts already locked away and more at pricing stage. This is real, funded work with genuine continuity, not a pipeline of maybes.

The projects

Two projects are live now and each needs its own Site Manager:

- A 100-apartment complex north of the river, circa $60m
- A 100-apartment complex south of the river, circa $60m

A third project, a 60 apartment build in a central location valued at circa $40m, commences in around eight weeks, so the requirement is likely to grow to three.

The role

We are looking for two Site Managers to take the lead on the $60m projects and run them to a high standard on programme, quality and safety.

These are live jobs, but you will not be thrown in cold. Your first week is in the office getting across their systems, the contract, the programme and the subcontractor base, and meeting the project team you will be working with. From there you take the reins on site, and you do it with proper support behind you: a dedicated HSE Advisor and a Contracts Administrator on the project,



plus an established project team and management group who back their people and are there when you need them.

You own the site, but you are not carrying it alone.

For the $40m project starting in eight weeks, the plan is to have that Site Manager in the business early, shadowing on a live project before commencement.

What they are looking for To be considered you will have:

- Demonstrable Site Management experience on multi-residential or commercial building projects, ideally at $40m plus
- Good tenure across your previous roles (they value stability, not job hoppers)
- The discipline and attention to detail to run a job to a high standard on programme, quality and safety
- The ability to lead subcontractors, suppliers and site personnel and hold a daily and weekly rhythm

They are open on level and will match the project to the person. A seasoned operator with a track record on larger, complex apartment builds would step straight onto one of the $60m projects. A capable Site Manager ready to step up from lower-value work would be well suited to the $40m project and set up to grow from there. What's on offer A competitive package based on experience, including base, superannuation and a fuel allowance. As a guide:

- $180k to $230k package depending on level and experience

Plus a secured pipeline of apartment projects, real continuity of work, and a supportive, established team to learn the business alongside. Our client is engaged and ready to move quickly. With two projects already underway, strong candidates can expect a fast, straightforward process and an immediate start.
