Job description

CPB Contractors in joint venture with UGL and supported by EIC, fellow CIMIC Group companies, is proud to be driving the ground-up development of a multi-megawatt data centre in Truganina in the western suburbs of Melbourne. As the trusted delivery partners for a global digital infrastructure platform, we will be frontiering mission critical facilities and infrastructure. Our expertise will seamlessly integrate complex systems across mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire, power and telecommunications among much more.

Being an integrated member of the ACS company group, we will leverage and empower this build by drawing on the shared knowledge and aligned systems across an international network to bring global best practice to our region.

The 80 MW data centre will consist of two adjoining 40MW buildings featuring complex internally integrated electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, fire protection, ICT and security systems. Construction will also involve extensive external inground services works, modular electrical equipment including HV / Fire protection facilities construction and civil finishing works.

We're looking for a Senior Site Manager to play a key leadership role in delivering a major data centre project that will support the next wave of digital and AI-enabled growth.

This is a large-scale, technically complex project where strong site leadership will be critical to success. You'll be responsible for leading day-to-day construction activities across your area of responsibility, coordinating teams, driving performance and ensuring works are delivered safely, efficiently and to programme.

Working closely with project leaders, engineers and subcontractors, you'll help turn planning into delivery, keeping work fronts moving, solving problems as they arise and creating the conditions for teams to perform at their best.

This is an opportunity to be part of a career-defining project and play a hands-on role in delivering a landmark development from construction through to commissioning and handover.

Key Responsibilities

As Senior Site Manager, you'll be a visible leader on site, ensuring work is planned, coordinated and delivered safely, productively and to a high standard.

You'll provide leadership to supervisors, engineers and subcontractors, driving daily execution while maintaining a strong focus on programme, quality and safety outcomes. You'll also work closely with the wider project team to identify risks, remove bottlenecks and keep works progressing in line with project objectives.

Success in the role will come from your ability to build strong relationships, make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment and create a culture where people are accountable, engaged and committed to delivering great outcomes.

What You'll Bring

You're an experienced construction leader who knows what it takes to deliver complex projects in demanding environments.

You'll bring a track record of leading site teams on major construction, infrastructure, industrial or data centre projects, with the ability to coordinate multiple work fronts and keep teams aligned to project priorities. You're practical, solutions-focused and comfortable making decisions that keep work moving while maintaining high standards for safety, quality and performance.

Just as importantly, you're someone people want to work for. You lead from the front, communicate clearly and build strong relationships across all levels of a project.

Experience delivering large-scale projects, managing self-perform and subcontractor workforces, and leading teams through demanding construction programmes will be highly regarded. Data centre experience is beneficial but not essential. What matters most is your ability to lead people, drive delivery and create successful project outcomes.

We’re always looking for ways to make CPB Contractors a more rewarding place to work and offer a unique set of benefits, including:

• A rewarding career where we support your development, training and promote from within.
• Opportunities across all construction sectors so that there is always an opportunity suitable for the next stage in your career.
• Competitive remuneration and excellent benefits including a health and wellbeing program, discount portal and company-funded salary continuance insurance.
• Flexible work arrangements and a culture that values diversity and innovation.
