Job description

Our client is a licensed Eastern Suburbs builder delivering luxury residential projects across the harbourside suburbs. They are a small, hands-on operation where the directors are directly involved in every build, and they are looking for a Site Foreman to take ownership of two projects running side by side.

The first is a $6M architect-designed renovation currently underway in Point Piper. The second is an $18M new build starting shortly. You would run both, reporting directly to the two directors with no layer in between.

This is not a volume role. It is one person, two high value sites, full ownership from where the job sits now through to handover.

What the role involves

• Day to day running of both sites, from the current demolition phase through to completion
• Coordinating trades, suppliers and consultants to programme
• Working directly with the clients, architects and interior designers
• Quality control and defect management to a luxury finish standard
• Site safety, inductions and WHS compliance
• Taking a handover of the Point Piper job from the outgoing foreman

What our client is looking for

• Carpentry trade background, non-negotiable
• Proven experience running high end residential sites, ideally $5M plus
• Background with an Eastern Suburbs luxury or architectural residential builder
• Comfortable being hands-on when it keeps the job moving
• Strong on detail and finishes, and confident dealing directly with private clients
• Based in or near the Eastern Suburbs, as both sites are close together

On offer

• Two genuinely high end projects rather than a portfolio of small jobs
• Direct line to the decision makers, no middle management
• Vehicle supplied
• Salary negotiable for the right person
