Job Description

Construction Team Leader – Environmental Solutions

n

Evolve Environmental Solutions is an environmental restoration and construction business delivering practical, on-ground solutions that protect and restore natural areas across South-East Queensland. Our work sits at the intersection of construction, landscape delivery and environmental outcomes.

n

We are seeking an experienced Construction Team Leader to help deliver environmental construction and landscape projects including erosion control, revegetation, habitat installation and water-sensitive urban design assets.

n

This role suits a construction qualified who enjoys being on site, leading crews and building tangible outcomes — and who values work that improves the long‐term health and resilience of natural landscapes.

n

About the Role

n

You will be responsible for the on‐site delivery of environmental construction and landscape works, ensuring projects are completed safely, efficiently and to specification.

n

You will work closely with Project Managers and environmental specialists, translating project designs into high‐quality on‐ground outcomes. While construction is the primary focus, the work is inherently environmental — building systems and landscapes that perform over time, not just at handover.

n

This is a hands‐on leadership role requiring you to actively participate in site works while supervising crews, plant and subcontractors.
