Job description

Plantation Homes is already one of Queensland's most respected residential builders. Every year, more than 750 families trust us to build their home, and that trust has been earned through quality, consistency and the team behind the business.

We're now looking for a Building Manager to join our Leadership team.

This is a role with real influence. You'll lead a team of 3 Regional Building Managers, 10 Construction Managers and 40 Construction Supervisors across both our order home and completed homes businesses. It's a role that has genuine impact, on our customers, our people and the performance of the business.

Where you'll make impact

You'll be joining an experienced construction team with strong systems and processes already in place and will work closely with senior leaders to set direction, remove roadblocks and make sure our construction team have what they need to perform well.

Accountable for all construction results, you'll set annual budgets, regularly review workforce requirements and ensure both the appropriate internal team structure and subcontractor support and trade capacity levels are in place to service current and future building volume.

Suited to a leader who is curious, ambitious, and eager to outperform KPIs and drive a high-performance culture, this role gives you scope to innovate, introduce efficiency, and increase productivity across both Plantation Homes and the broader industry through involvement in key forums and industry groups.

You're highly regarded

You may currently be a GM of Construction, Building Manager, State Construction Manager or senior construction leader within a volume residential builder.

You've developed strong teams, navigated changing market conditions, are trusted in the industry by suppliers and trades, have a commercial outlook, demonstrate a commitment to customer and quality and have a sharp technical background.

Why Plantation Homes?

We're proud of the quality homes we build, and equally proud of the impact we make beyond them.

Our partnership with TradeMutt helps drive awareness and conversations around mental health across the construction industry. We actively support the team who show up to build our homes every day.

Through our House for Life initiative, we're proud to support the Mater Children's Hospital Neonatal Critical Care Unit, helping provide life-saving care and support for some of Queensland's smallest and most vulnerable patients and their families.

These commitments reflect what's important to us. We believe success is measured not only by the homes we build, but by the difference we make for our people, our customers, our industry and our community.

Curious?

Opportunities to lead construction operations of this scale don't come along often.

If you're ready to influence the future of a market-leading builder, develop the next generation of construction leaders and leave a lasting mark on a business, we'd love to hear from you.
