About Stokes Rousseau Stokes Rousseau is a Melbourne-based construction company delivering commercial, heritage restoration and refurbishment projects across Victoria since 2006 - from landmark heritage buildings to complex commercial construction projects. Backed by ISO 9001, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications and Federal Safety Commissioner accreditation. We combine the professionalism of a bigger firm with the agility, accountability and close-knit culture of an SME that's genuinely growing.

About the Role You’ll be the person on the ground making it happen - coordinating trades, enforcing safety and quality standards and keeping the program on track. With a supportive Project Manager backing you and genuinely interesting heritage and commercial projects to work on, this is hands-on leadership with real variety.

What You’ll Be Doing

Running daily site operations safely, on program and to specification

Driving quality assurance and defect-free handovers

Mentoring and developing your site team

What We’re Looking For





Minimum 4 years’ experience in commercial construction site management or a foreman role

A trade or carpentry background is highly regarded

Strong knowledge of OHS, QA and environmental requirements on site

Comfortable with Procore or similar, plus Microsoft Office

Diploma of Building and Construction (or equivalent) an advantage

Current Construction Induction (White Card)

Victorian driver’s licence required, and ongoing access to an appropriate vehicle

Why Stokes Rousseau

An attractive salary that reflects your experience, plus the perks below:

Real growth, real opportunity: we’re expanding, which means more sites, more responsibility and more room to grow your career than you’d find at a bigger, more corporate builder.

A fresh new home: we’re moving into a brand-recent Head Office in Abbotsford - a modern space to match where we’re headed as a business.

An extra day, your way: on top of your standard leave, you’ll get an additional day of paid leave every year to use however you like - no reason required.

Get rewarded for great people: know someone perfect for the team? Our employee referral program pays you a cash bonus when your referral is hired.

A culture you’ll actually feel: a close-knit, senior-accountable team working on some of Melbourne’s most interesting heritage and commercial projects - real hands-on variety you won’t find running the same job site every day.
