HVAC Site Supervisor

West Group | Sydney, NSW (site-based) | Full-time

About West Group

West Group is a Sydney-based commercial HVAC and refrigeration contractor. We deliver projects for supermarkets, retail, commercial construction and cold storage across Sydney, the Illawarra and the Central Coast. Our clients choose us because we do the job right the first time, and we’re looking for a Site Supervisor who works to the same standard.

The role

You’ll be West Group’s person on site. You’ll run the trades, keep the work moving and make sure everything is installed safely, on program and to standard. You’ll report to the HVAC Project Manager on each job. The PM looks after scope, budget and the client, and you’re in charge of what happens on site.

A lot of our work is in live trading Coles and Woolworths stores. You need to be comfortable working around customers, with store rules and on night works.

What you’ll be doing

- Running the site day to day: sequencing trades, allocating daily tasks and keeping the program on track
- Reading mechanical, duct, reflected ceiling and shop drawings, checking them against the site and raising discrepancies early
- Coordinating mechanical trades, electricians and builders, and sorting out clashes on site (anything that affects cost goes to the PM)
- Working in live supermarkets to food safety, hygiene and customer-safety requirements, including night works and working around refrigeration systems
- Enforcing safety: SWMS, PPE, site inductions, permits, LOTO and working at heights. You’ll have the authority to stop work on safety grounds
- Checking install quality, including duct sealing, equipment mounting, pipework, penetrations, finishes and access for future maintenance
- Running pre-handover checks so the area is clean and complete before the client inspects it




- Sending daily updates to the builder and PM, keeping site logs, timesheets and progress records, and recording hours in Simpro
- Checking deliveries and plant on arrival, checking stock on site and telling the PM about shortages

What you’ll bring

- Cert III in Electrotechnology (HVAC&R;) or equivalent
- At least 3 years in HVAC installation or service, including work as a site supervisor or leading hand
- Enough HVAC knowledge to read a set of drawings and tell whether an AHU, FCU, ductwork or pipework install looks right
- Basic electrical awareness (isolations, sensors and actuators, control versus power wiring) to coordinate electricians
- Working knowledge of WHS, working at heights and lockout/isolation, plus a current White Card
- Experience in live retail or supermarket sites. Coles and Woolworths site training is highly regarded
- Confidence with computers (Simpro and Microsoft Office or similar), or the ability to pick them up quickly
- An understanding of how a construction site works, including which people you need to keep on side to keep a job running
- The habit of saying when you don’t know an answer, then finding out and following up instead of guessing

What’s on offer

- Competitive salary plus super and a company vehicle
- Full time, ongoing work with established supermarket and commercial clients
- A clearly defined role: you run the site and the PM handles the commercial side
- Support from experienced Project Managers and the HVAC Operations Manager
