Job description

Alimaster designs, fabricates and installs architectural aluminium — balustrades, batten and perforated screens, awnings, sunhoods, fencing, gates and custom pergolas — for builders and developers from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast. Our factory and office are in Caboolture, and our projects range from multi-storey apartments, social housing and schools to prestige residential.

Why this role is different

You're not a cog.

We're a tight team. You report directly to our Operations Manager — no layers, no committees. Decisions get made in a conversation, not a meeting series.

The systems already exist.

You'll start with a written PM procedure, a site-measure checklist and clear lines of who does what. You won't be inventing the process while also running ten jobs.

Real authority.

You run your installer program. You own your sites.

Everything is under one roof.

Our draftsman, CNC/fabrication and welding team are 20 metres from your desk. When something needs changing, you walk out to the shed and sort it.

You'll make things nobody else can.

Curved balustrades and custom architectural work are our specialty — this isn't kit-and-cut.

What you'll do

Take projects from estimating handover through submittals, engineering and client approvals

Lead site measures and get drawings right before we cut metal

Procure external supplier items and keep SWMS and site safety paperwork current

Program and coordinate our installers; work with the Operations Manager on shed scheduling and material readiness

Be the face of Alimaster on site — builder meetings, site walks, access, cranes, scaffold sequencing

Manage variations; confirm completed work for monthly progress claims

Close out jobs properly: compliance docs, defects and warranty

How you think

The right person walks onto a site and is already asking:

Is this slab post-tensioned, and what's buried in it before we core-drill?

Has the render or tile gone on yet, and what will that do to my measurements?

When does the scaffold come down, and is it level by level or one elevation at a time?

Will that hood clear the scaffold, or do we need an EWP?

Where do we unload, where do we store it, and when do we get the crane?

What has the builder promised that isn't on the drawings?

What's going to stop my installers on Monday, and can I fix it today?

If you're already thinking like this, you'll fit right in.

About you

You might be an experienced PM, or a strong site supervisor or experiences installer ready to step up. What matters is that you:

Have delivered projects in construction — metalwork, facades, glazing, steel, fencing, fit-out or similar

Can read architectural and shop drawings and spot what's missing

Can run multiple jobs at once without dropping the ball

Talk straight with builders, and back yourself to make a call

Understand variations, programs and how a job makes or loses money

Hold a current driver's licence and White Card

Experience with aluminium fabrication, site installation or AutoCad is a bonus. Salary within the range will reflect your experience.

What we offer

$130,000 – $165,000 + super, depending on experience

Company vehicle and fuel card

Performance bonus

Phone and laptop

Some flexibility around your day when site allows

A business with documented systems and a short line to the people who make decisions
