URGENT | $170k + Super + Vehicle | Riverina / Captail RegionNSW | October 2026 to June 2027

Our client is a specialist civil contractor delivering infrastructure across the power, utilities, transport, land development and renewable energy sectors. They have been awarded the civil package on a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in the NSW Riverina, and need an experienced Site Civil Supervisor on the ground immediately.

This role will suit a hands-on civil supervisor who leads from the front and knows how to drive crews to a tight program. It is not a project management role. A strong PM is already in place, and they need someone running the site day to day.

The Role

You will lead 2 leading hands with crews of 4 under each , plus subcontractor wet hire crews. The fleet includes dozers, grader, compactor, rollers, water cart, 5t and 26t excavators and large bogie tippers, with a very high volume of truck movements every day.

Key Responsibilities

Site leadership - Run daily pre-starts, allocate labour, plant and subcontractors, and keep crews productive and clear on what the day needs to deliver. Manage performance, fatigue and welfare, and resolve issues before they hit the program.

Civil delivery - Supervise bulk earthworks, access roads and hardstands, trenching, conduit, pit and pipe, drainage, and concrete footings and equipment foundations. Build to IFC drawings, ITPs and hold points.





Program and records - Plan daily and weekly works with the PM, track progress, flag delays early, and keep accurate diaries, timesheets, plant hours and quantities in Assignar. Record client directions and out-of-scope work.

Safety - Lead SWMS, permits and toolbox talks, manage the interface between plant and people, and stop unsafe work.
