Structural Steel Installer / Leading Hand - Run Your Own Crew (Sydney CBD) You've probably been running the job on site for years without the title or the pay. This is the step up.

You'll lead a crew of 2-3 installing light structural steel, aluminium louvres and metalwork in HV (high-voltage) substation fit-outs inside commercial high-rise, data centres, hospitals and defence sites. Most work is Sydney CBD; occasional jobs range Newcastle to Wollongong. You'll take the drawings, plan the day, set out, install, and hand over - and you'll report directly to Mitch (Project Manager) and Cam (General Manager), not through three layers of management.
