Building Supervisor

Bendigo, Echuca, Swan Hill or surrounds | Full time | Permanent

This is not cookie cutter project homes. It is not luxury builds with a designer on speed dial. It is real building work in real homes, and it needs someone who can get it done.

Our client is an established regional Victorian building company with a 30 year track record and more than 12,000 work orders a year. They deliver maintenance, upgrades and project works for government, community housing and local government clients across regional Victoria.

They are looking for a Building Supervisor who likes variety, can think on their feet and takes pride in leaving a home better than they found it.

Why this role is different

Some weeks it is a run of bathroom upgrades. Other weeks it is a multi-property program with trades on several sites at once. In between there are kitchens, structural repairs, flooring, painting, accessibility works and the job that turned out to be bigger once the wall came off.

The work is often in occupied homes, with tenants who need to be kept informed and treated with respect. Access can be tight, timeframes can move, and the scope is not always what the work order said. If you enjoy solving those problems rather than avoiding them, you will do well here.

Based where the work is

Head office is in Bendigo, but this role does not have to be. Our client wants to better service the regions, so they are open to a supervisor based in Bendigo, Echuca, Swan Hill or a nearby regional centre. You will mostly look after works around your area, with travel across northern Victoria as needed.

You will not be doing it alone

You will be backed by a team of Project Administration Coordinators who manage work orders, bookings, client updates and paperwork. That frees you to focus on what you do best: running the work on site, keeping trades moving and getting jobs finished properly.

· Lead handover meetings and sign off completed works

What you will bring

· Solid hands-on building experience, ideally in maintenance, renovation or residential works

· Experience supervising sites and coordinating trades

· Confidence dealing with tenants, clients and trades in the same day

· A practical problem solver who can make good calls on site

· Organised, reliable and comfortable using job management software (SimPro experience a bonus)

· Current driver licence, Construction Induction (White Card) and Working with Children Check, or willingness to obtain

· Registered building practitioner or Cert IV in Building and Construction highly regarded, but not essential
