Salary: |
AUD200000 - AUD240000 per annum |
The Opportunity
Join a family-owned Sydney builder that has evolved from fitout to delivering $5–$20m government, education and social-infrastructure new builds. With a funded pipeline (including recent police and school upgrades) they’re building full delivery teams and giving Senior Site Managers true ownership of entire jobs—not just packages. Systems are in place (ISO 9001/14001/45001, OFSC), leadership is hands-on, and client references are highly valued.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead site delivery for $5–$20m government/education new builds and complex refurbs, ensuring program, quality, safety and budget outcomes.
- Drive subcontractor performance: let packages, coordinate trades, sequence works in live environments (schools/community assets).
- Champion HSEQ/IMS processes and foster a collaborative culture with clients, consultants and authorities.
- Mentor site teams (Foreman, CA support), produce look-aheads, manage risk and variations, and report to the Construction Manager.
What You Bring
- Proven #1 site leadership delivering institutional projects (schools, small gov buildings, aged care) in the $5–$20m range.
- Strong client and consultant references; track record handing over on time with excellent quality and safety.
- Depth across full trade scope (not just single packages) and confidence operating in live environments.
- Familiarity with ISO-aligned systems and government compliance; clear communication and stakeholder management.
Why Apply?
- Own whole projects: Step into the lead seat on $5–$20m+ school/government builds with real accountability and support.
- Top-quartile remuneration: Packages up to ~$220k, with flexibility for standout references and delivery history.
- Pipeline & stability: Funded government/education program across Sydney; multiple hires forecast over the next 3–6 months.
- Balanced geography: Assignments aligned to your home base where possible to reduce commute fatigue.
- Culture that backs you: MD-led, pragmatic, relationship-driven—where speed, commitment and doing the right thing for clients and subs matter.
