Demo Site Supervisor - Northern Territory
Thinking about your next career move? Maybe it's time to make it a lifestyle move as well.
McMahon Services is growing our operations in the Northern Territory, and we're looking for experienced Site Managers and Supervisors who are open to relocating to Darwin and becoming part of our local team.
This isn't a FIFO role. It's an opportunity to live and work in Darwin, build a long-term career with McMahon Services and enjoy everything that comes with life in the Top End.
Think warm weather, shorter commutes, weekends spent fishing, boating, camping or exploring the national parks, and a relaxed outdoor lifestyle — while still taking on challenging projects and continuing to develop your construction career.
We're particularly keen to speak with Civil Site Managers and Supervisors, as well as people with experience across demolition, remediation, asbestos or hazardous materials.
You don't need to be a specialist across every area. If you're a strong site leader who knows how to manage people, plan works, coordinate resources and deliver projects safely, we'd like to talk.
Relocation assistance can be discussed for suitable interstate candidates.
