About the Role

We are seeking an experienced General Foreman with a solid civil engineering and construction background for an immediate-start contract running through to late December 2026.

This role provides essential site leadership to cover operational leave across two substation projects sequentially:

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate subcontractors, plant movements, and material deliveries.
