Job description

Civil Leading Hand | Telco, Substations & Renewables

HARDLINE GROUP delivers telecommunications tower, substation, electrical infrastructure and renewable energy projects across Australia. With more than 300 greenfield sites delivered to major clients, we’re growing our teams and looking for an experienced Civil Leading Hand to join us.

Based on the Gold Coast, you'll lead site crews, coordinate daily works and ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to a high standard. Working closely with Supervisors and the Project Manager, you'll oversee a mix of local and interstate projects, with travel, flights and accommodation provided when working away.

What You’ll Do

• Lead daily civil works, organise crews and maintain productivity.
• Coordinate labour, materials, plant and subcontractors so the crew keeps moving
• Read drawings and specs, and build to them
• Work with your Supervisor to hold program and quality
• Lead by example and stop work whenever safety is compromised
• Keep site records current using email, apps and site photos
• Travel to projects across Australia, including regional and remote sites

About You

• Proven civil construction and crew leadership experience.
• Confident reading plans, organising work and leading by example.
• Strong communication, accountability and problem-solving skills
• Comfortable with email, phone apps and site photo reporting
• Reliable and accountable, with a strong work ethic and the commitment to see every job through to completion.
• Current White Card (essential); HR licence advantageous.
• Willing to travel and work away from home

Highly regarded: concreting (formwork, reo, pours and finishing), plus telco, electrical or renewables experience.

How We Work

Safety first, no exceptions. Anyone can stop work when something isn’t right. When you make that call, management backs it, helps fix the issue, and work resumes only once it’s safe.

Own the problem. Raise issues early and bring options. Management makes a clear decision quickly, so crews aren’t left waiting.

Respect is earned through action, not titles. Progression comes from attitude, capability and accountability, not years served. Our previous Field Manager started as a crew concreter and worked up through team lead, leading hand, supervisor and senior site supervisor.

What You Get

• Permanent full time role, competitive hourly rate, overtime and super
• Travel, flights, accommodation and applicable LAFH allowances when working away.
• Training and tickets paid for, with major tools, equipment and uniforms supplied.
• Consistent work, with a mix of local and away projects
• Management that backs your safety decisions and resolves issues quickly.
• Genuine career progression to Senior Leading Hand and Supervisor based on performance, not time served.
