Job summary

Unite Recruitment Pty is seeking a Structures Foreman to lead structural crews on complex civil builds, including formwork, reinforcement, concrete, and steel. You will read drawings, set-out data, and translate plans into daily, safe work on site.

You will coordinate trades, manage plant and materials, and ensure hold points and records are completed to satisfy client and certifier requirements, while maintaining program discipline and quality.

Qualifications

• Proven record running structural packages—formwork, reinforcement, concrete, and/or structural steel—on multi-storey or complex civil builds.
• Ability to read structural drawings, set-out data, and specifications and turn them into a workable daily plan.
• Current construction safety qualification and a history of running high-risk work (cranage, temporary works, concrete placement) without serious incidents.
• Experience closing quality hold points and producing records that satisfy client and certifier scrutiny.
• Clear, direct communication with crews, subcontractors, and site management under programme pressure.

Responsibilities

• Deliver structural packages to the agreed programme, with daily targets met and delays flagged before they hit the critical path.
• Set out, form, reinforce, and pour or erect structure so levels, cover, embeds, and tolerances pass inspection without rework.
• Run the site so every structural activity has a current safe work method, a competent crew, and zero serious incidents.
• Coordinate plant, materials, and trades so pours and steel erection happen once, fully resourced, and to the quality plan.
• Close out hold points, ITPs, and as-built records the same day work is completed, not at the end of the package.
• Lift crew output by coaching leading hands, balancing labour, and removing the blockers that waste hours.
• Protect margin by controlling temporary works, concrete waste, and variation scope before cost leaves the site.
