Job description

We are looking for a qualified Foreman to deliver architect-designed homes within a controlled factory environment. The Foreman will lead and coordinate construction activities across both our Blok Modular factory and project sites, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard of quality. The role oversees trades and labour, implements works in line with IFC documentation and programme, and maintains alignment between design, factory production, and on-site delivery.

The Foreman will manage workflow, monitor workmanship, and resolve day-to-day construction and coordination issues, with a particular focus on the interface between factory-built modules and site works. The role requires strong leadership, practical construction knowledge, and the ability to maintain consistent quality, safety, and programme control from factory through to installation and completion. These are not conventional volume-building projects; they are architecturally ambitious, highly detailed and technically demanding. They require someone who can understand both the design intent and the commercial and practical realities of construction.

Key responsibilities

End-to-End Project Delivery – take ownership of projects from factory production through procurement, transport, site installation and practical completion, ensuring all stages are coordinated and delivered to plan.

Programming & Forward Planning – develop and maintain project programmes, manage forward lookaheads, coordinate resources and trades, and proactively address risks, constraints and delays.

Leadership & Coordination – lead daily factory and site operations, direct trades and subcontractors, set priorities and maintain accountability for productivity, workmanship and progress.

Procurement & Resource Management – anticipate material, labour, equipment and subcontractor requirements, ensuring everything is organised and available when needed.

Quality Assurance & Compliance – coordinate inspections, QA checkpoints and hold points, verify work against approved drawings and specifications, and manage defects and corrective actions through to close-out.

Problem-Solving & Risk Management – identify issues early, make timely decisions and implement practical solutions that balance cost, quality, programme, safety and compliance.

Communication & Reporting – maintain clear communication between the factory, site teams, suppliers, subcontractors and management, providing accurate progress updates and escalating risks with recommended solutions.

Completion & Handover – coordinate final inspections, outstanding works, defect close-out and documentation to ensure projects are complete, compliant and ready for client handover.

About us

Blok Modular is an award-winning architecture and construction company exploring a different way of designing and building. We bring architecture, construction and manufacturing together under one roof, designing highly resolved architectural projects and constructing significant portions of them within our Brisbane manufacturing facility before installation and completion on site.

Our work sits at the intersection of architecture, construction and advanced off‑site manufacturing. We believe the future of construction lies in much closer integration between these disciplines – using the intelligence and precision of manufacturing without losing the individuality, materiality and architectural ambition of a bespoke building. Blok Modular is a hands‑on environment with ambitious projects and a team interested in continually improving how buildings are designed and made.
