Head of Construction | Growing Head Contractor

Sydney | Senior Leadership | Residential & Mixed-Use A growing Sydney construction business is looking to appoint a Head of Construction to lead its expanding head contracting operation.

Originally established delivering its own developments, the business has evolved into third-party head contracting and currently has three live projects, with further prospects progressing through the pipeline.

This is a key leadership appointment with genuine influence over how the construction business grows.

The Opportunity
Take overall construction leadership across multiple live projects
Lead and support Project Managers and site delivery teams
Drive consistency across programme, procurement, design, commercial and delivery
Maintain oversight of project performance, risk and resourcing
Work closely with the Directors and senior leadership team
Strengthen construction systems, processes and reporting as the business scales
Support pre-construction, project mobilisation and delivery strategy
Build capability within the construction team as additional projects come online
Maintain strong relationships with clients, consultants and key subcontractors





Who We’re Looking For You’ll be an established Construction Manager / Head of Construction / senior delivery leader with a robust background working for a reputable head contractor or developer-builder.

You’ll have delivered large-scale residential or mixed-use projects, led multiple project teams and be comfortable operating at both a strategic and hands-on delivery level.

Importantly, this isn't a role for someone looking to simply oversee the status quo. The business is growing, and they want someone who can help shape the construction function, develop the team and play a significant role in its next stage of growth.

Why Consider It?

This is an opportunity to join at a point where the platform is already established — three projects are currently underway — but there is still significant scope to influence what the construction business becomes.

You’ll have direct access to ownership and senior leadership, visibility across the entire construction operation and the chance to build a long-term leadership position as the project portfolio continues to grow.
